Write Wall

About

Write Wall was created to simply be able to share text content across multiple computers running under the same Chrome account. It's a simple concept with a simple solution: create an extension that allows users to paste whatever content and access it from any computer running Chrome. 

I hope you find it as useful as I have and please feel free to fork this project on Github and/or provide suggestions for improving Write Wall.
