mrv3000: made by elismor (VoD - Snap!)
Does anyone know of a good online word processor? Google Docs is good, but only up to a point. Once you get over a certain size it starts grinding to a halt. You type a character, it instantly goes into autosave where you have to wait, type another character, wait again... I had this problem before when the document got to be more than 8000 words. What I'm looking for:
  • Something where you don't have to download anything, or have to save anything (even the document) on your computer.

  • Something that doesn't try to autosave the doc with every new word. Google Docs' big thing is that multiple people could all edit a document at the same time, which is why it wants to autosave ALL THE TIME. Unfortunately, you can't turn it off.

  • Something where you can type in plain text. I mean, real plain text. No weird double/single/1.5 line spacing either. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WHEN I HARD RETURN. I SWEAR. *curses the day rich text was invented as it is a plague on humanity*
Also, I'm grumpy with myself. Instead of writing new parts, I seem to be stuck in editing existing parts. But I guess that's better than nothing, eh?
