Very clever! I set this as the default URL for new tabs.. Now, everytime I open a new tab, I have a quick scratchpad for pasting/testing/etc.
This is what the scratch (EDIT: read scratch as * scratch * without the spaces--is there any way to escape that properly on HN?) buffer is for in Emacs, and I find it extremely useful. Also, unlike using a different tool, it allows me to use all the Emacs-specific features I usually rely on. (For example, I can easily type special characters like r₁ × r₂ ≈ r₃ using the TeX mode.) If you want more than one scratch buf…
I keep it in textmate, been thinking about moving it to vim but I quite like having it in its own space.
The browser is the new OS!
This is a hack and a workaround. The bug is clearly using an editor restricted to editting files in a "Project Workspace". Yikes.
Everyone has their own workflow, and they're all insane (for myself, I have an emacsclient wrapper that when called without a file will create a unique name under ~/.emacsclient-scratch and edit that -- so I never lose anything I know I was typing at one point). Still... this just seems like a really bad solution. You get an "editor everywhere" but it's the default editor in your browser. Ick. It's cute though.
1) I have a constant editor opened with a Notes.txt file, so I can save it.
2) I use Sublime Text 2 which maintains the state regardless of whether I've saved the file or not, and is extremely cross platform.
The nicest thing about this is that you can CTRL+S save it as a .html file, and then you can also CTRL+O load the file and it's still editable, and save it again!

Thanks to both of you. I'll check it out.
