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!

Cool project! I wonder what the authors didn’t like of the macOS Text Edit, especially when set up on its simpler text only interface.

That's part of it. Classic NotePad is just plain simple.
