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!

Wow, I am in exactly the same position. I grew up in the 90's using all the versions of Windows. Notepad became such an essential part of my workflows that even after 10 years of being on a Mac, I still mentally "reach for" Notepad. I have yet to find a suitable replacement.

Thanks for this, will take a look. (One thing that comes close is Stickies on MacOS)

I would recommend TextMate: https://macromates.com

It's feature-rich, but it just shows´an empty text window on startup. Can't remember if that's the default or I configured it that way.

For larger text files I use vscode.
