Can you make it monospace by default, so that this can be used as a code snippet bin?

#26I like these kinds of projects, but adding a file export/import is inevitable. It's less about the limits of a URL and more about practicality.

It is always worth remembering that, unless you have already ensured that the content has been rendered into a URI-safe subset of ASCII, a character and an octet are not the same thing.
