As a native Windows user who switched to macOS a few years back, one thing I never got over was the simplicity and usefulness of the old school Notepad app. This app aims to recreate that very same experience, cross-platform and easily installable as a PWA.

I've been using this for personal use for around 2 years and I figured it was time to share it with the world. Criticism, issues and PRs are welcome. Thanks!

Unfortunely I cannot share the same nostalgia, as the very first thing I got used to do in new Windows installations was to install XEmacs, UltraEdit, Notepad++, SlickEdit, whatever everyone else is kind of using on the project.

Kudos for the project though.

While we're complaining about entirely tangential and inconsequential papercuts, I resent the 5 seconds it takes me to install bbedit and git on Mac.

Upvotes, please? I said software was bad - I expect to be showered with praise for my taste and quality of opinion.
