Ask HN: Copy and paste on any device

4 points by CalinBalauru ↗ HN
I find myself most of the time needing to copy a piece of text or even a link from my mobile and paste later (when I get out of the bathroom) on my PC.

Do you have the same problem? What are you using to solve this?

Thanks

I paste it to the cloud so i can access it from everywhere.

How? what app are you using?

No app. Just a simple website i run on my own server, where I can paste stuff.

You could use any of the quadrillion webservices instead. Any blog service like tumblr will do.

Use a paste service like pastebin.com or hastebin.com (you can self-host haste-server -- https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server)

Very repetitive, I copy the text open paste bin paste it then go to my pc open paste bin copy if from there and paste it where I need it. I want a seamless integration that will hopefully be as simple as CTRL+c / CTRL+v

Good questions! I know what you mean. For websites urls, I find myself using Chrome's 'other devices' menu (at the bottom of a new tab). This of course only works since I'm logged into Chrome with my G account on all devices.

For real ctrl-c stuff, I have to admit I reside to workarounds that are far from ideal.

Chrome other devices is good (used it for a wille) but I use really like to use Maxthon on my mobile
