Dead Simple Text is a web-based text editor with minimalistic design inspired by MS DOS editors of old. It can open files from the user's filesystem and save them back to a user-specified downloads folder.

Setting the save location

If you want to save a file to a location other than your 'downloads', you'll need to configure your browser to ask you for a location every time a website downloads anything. Unfortunately this option is all-or-nothing: if you want it, it'll affect other websites too.

I love it. Does this thing have vim keybindings and a scripting language? Maybe LSP support and a built-in terminal and browser?

Nah OP needs to get his stuff together first, this project is not even a progressive webapp. How can I ever edit text in the browser fast without web workers?

Half the code in this editor is there to make tab insertion work properly and it's broken in Firefox.

Because of this I'll be switching to Googleβ„’ Chromeβ„’ immediately.

Are you saying there are browsers other than Chrome out there??

Wrong. Jabbascript is multiplatform; clearly this is user error.

Can't even save in Firefox. Must be a feature!

It reminds me of my main side-project: "Clock", a way to tell the time using a computer.

Is it an electron app? Because I only use Carlo apps nowadays.

This isn't built with Rust. The author is clearly a bad person and needs to kill themselves.

Nah, just needs electron or node for the true web experience
