Cute tool. I like the way you highlight the 'matched' section on the textarea. Couldn't you have done it all in a codepen ?

Thanks for positive words.

This couldn't have been done on codepen for two reasons, one is that I use service workers for offline capability (try disabling wi-fi) and service workers have strict requirements of domain (cross-origin policy)/host. And second is just professionalism, I think it shows visiters that I'm serious and careful about my stuff.
