The text is stored in your browser (it's local storage), it is not stored anywhere else than on your
own PC or Smartphone.
You can't open this text from any other device or in any other browser - unless
you export/import the encrypted content as JSON file.
Warning
When you set up a new operating system,
when you disable locale storage in your browser or
when you uninstall your browser,
... the text will be lost.
Remember to export the text as a file beforehand.
Cloud Access
From version 0.5 you can upload/download files to/from Dropbox.
Note: The contents of your files are encrypted, but the meta data is not. For example
the cloud provider is able to register the title and length of your files.
You can't access the cloud in local mode (if you download the browser notebook and
run it on your local file system).
JavaScript
Browser Notebook is written in pure JavaScript. The advantage is that no download,
installation or registration is required, but not all web browsers do support all
JavaScript features...
