  • Backend: Hono server for static file serving
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS via CDN
  • API: Modern Clipboard API (navigator.clipboard.read())
  • Security: Requires HTTPS or localhost
  • Architecture: Component-based with proper separation of concerns

Browser Compatibility

  • Chrome/Edge: Full support

  • Only works on HTTPS sites (or localhost for development)
  • No data is sent to any server - everything runs client-side
