Field notes
Participants are shown by colored cursors and presence dots, and a user can click a dot to follow another person’s cursor. The page sets a limit of 10 editors and 200 readers per pad, with a capacity of about 250,000 characters. It says files travel directly between browsers rather than being stored on the server; the page also warns that an unencrypted pad is accessible to anyone who knows its name.
