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!

I don't get the nostalgia for NotePad - the most featureless piece of software ever invented.

Honestly, I also don't know anyone who has any fond remembrance of notepad. The majority of my friends on windows used notepad++ and then later sublime.

Just like how almost everyone I knew used Paint.NET rather than mspaint.
