Documentation

Welcome to the NotePadr documentation. Here you'll find everything you need to know about using NotePadr.

Getting Started

Creating Your First Pad

1. Visit the homepage
2. Click "New Pad" for a random name, or enter a custom name
3. Start writing!

Sharing Pads

To share a pad with others, simply copy the URL from your browser's address bar and send it to them. Anyone with the link can access and edit the pad.

Features

Real-Time Collaboration

Multiple users can edit the same pad simultaneously. Changes appear in real-time for all collaborators.

Automatic Saving

All changes are automatically saved. There's no save button - everything is saved instantly as you type.

Pad Management

Visit the Public Pads page to see a list of all your pads. Click on any pad to open it.

Automatic Cleanup

NotePadr automatically cleans up pads that:

• Only contain the default welcome text
• Were created more than 24 hours ago
• Have never been edited

This helps keep the service running smoothly by removing unused pads. If you create a pad and don't edit it within 24 hours, it will be automatically removed. Pads that have been edited (even slightly) are never automatically deleted.

Tips & Best Practices

• Use descriptive pad names to make them easier to find
• Bookmark frequently used pads
• Share pad URLs securely - anyone with the link can access the pad
• Pads are accessible from any device with a web browser

NotePadr supports standard text editing shortcuts:

• Ctrl/Cmd + B: Bold
• Ctrl/Cmd + I: Italic
• Ctrl/Cmd + U: Underline
• Ctrl/Cmd + Z: Undo
• Ctrl/Cmd + Y: Redo
