I exploit the similar idea for teaching: https://lnkd.in/gsySKda4
Students are lazy, in a good way, so they are more likely to run things on their own and play with interactive bits if the whole lecture is just one link.

#122Crashes my mobile chromium browsers when I try to open crime and punishment.
Firefox seems to work.

#123Can you make it monospace by default, so that this can be used as a code snippet bin?
This is a code editor with the same url idea:

#125I am thinking from a piracy perspective. If I share a link that contains a book, what can be done from DCMA or legal regulators? They can't ask the server (textarea.my) to remove the link because it doesn't exist.
They can't track every website with the link and ask to be removed, either.
Could they ask textarea.my to not parse the link and thus, not display the content? Could textarea.my refuse?

#126shameless plug: i built something very similar but nobody cared: https://github.com/AlexW00/Buffertab
I've seen a few others on HN this year, I'm pretty sure.

#127Funny 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…

#128TypeScript playground does effectively the same thing for shared links, though it doesn't live-update as you type.

#129Very nice exploration of URL-as-state. The approach is elegant, but the mobile crashes highlight how hostile real-world URL handling still is once links leave the browser.

I would hope not. The copyrighted content seems to be the link rather than anything in the app.
Your example sounds like stopping notepad from rendering copyrighted content
