dontpad

DEPRECATED

Recently Heroku has stopped providing free deployment, and I don't have time to maintain this project anymore.

If you need to retrieve the information that you have saved on https://dontpad.herokuapp.com, you can contact me via email [email protected] with subject "[dontpad] ...", I will resend that content from the database.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
