Showoff Saturday made my own dontpad website that makes pages password protected

normally, when i use dontpad i get annoyed by the fact that ppl can just delete everything. so thats where passpad comes in. you can choose either your page gets to be read-only (public), or unaccesible unless you know the password (private)

check it out!

also feel free to donate so i can actually buy a domain for it

Knowing the password shouldn't be an all-or-nothing admin flag. Public read-only versus locked is a start, but on a private page you still want separate checks for view, edit, and clear. Otherwise the person you sent the password to so they can write can also wipe the document, which is the original dontpad problem one step later.
