Write Wall Extension

Write Wall was created to simply be able to share text content across multiple computers running under the same Chrome account. It's a simple concept with a simple solution: create an extension that allows users to paste whatever content and access it from any computer running Chrome.

I hope you find it as useful as I have and please feel free to fork this project on Github and/or provide suggestions for improving Write Wall.

Miona Necic (ID: 0000005a696e0ba2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/18/2021 Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I've been using WriteSpace for years, even after it was discontinued in the chrome web store (thankfully it runs offline, but only on my old computer). Write Wall actually goes one step further in usability because now I have an icon always visible on my chrome toolbar (extension vs app I guess, WriteSpace was an app). It's just one click and start writing, no logins, nothing required beforehand. Older notes are already there and easy to review or add to. I can see in the old reviews and comments that the old issues of losing notes were fixed so I'm looking forward to using it. My only request would be an ability to modify the line width (it's sort of the middle third of my screen), or even just make it permanently wider.
