An online Javascript beautifier that not only beautifies the code but also replaces short variable names in minimal versions of the files with longer and meaningful names. The new names do not need to be related to the purpose of the code, it is just good the have readable and long variable names.

A temporary spreadsheet like notepad.cc does for writing. I'm always opening excel spreadsheets to use for making simple lists or tables and would rather do it in the browser.

Have you tried Evernote for this?

You can create to-do lists with checkable boxes, they have a web interface you could use for inputting, but then once it's written it's available through the browser anywhere, or on your computer or mobile device through the Evernote app. I use this all the time for grocery lists because I can input it on a keyboard much more comfortably, but then I always just have it with me.

I actually use it for a wide variety of tasks that I think are better suited for spreadsheets including:

- data tables - anything that requires some simple calculations - anything that could use cross-referencing cells, etc.

That's EXACTLY what I always have a scratch sheet open for and sometimes I don't want something as full featured as a Google spreadsheet. I want to just open up this app and it'll be a full screen spreadsheet with no distractions and a URL that I can share just like notepad.cc. It doesn't need to do advanced calcs, just simple arithmetic would be enough and the ability do a simple password protect and share the link.
