I've implemented the same idea a few years ago: https://pastila.nl/
It uses DB at the backend.

Voice typing is a cool feature, have you considered whisper wasm instead of OpenAI api?

Sure! textarea.my support custom style attr: https://textarea.my/#Ky4tSlVUyCotLlEoLUhJLElVKC6pzElVSCwpKWJ...

#109Funny how I made almost exactly the same but for maps. I needed a way to share a link to a map, with drawings and the ability for the receiver to see their own location on the map. Annotated screenshots solves the first but not the second. Vibe engineered this, with many of the same ideas as OP. Took an evening. Just in time apps for one specific use case is a thing. And because it's so cheap to make and can be hoste…
