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!

Just to be the devil's advocate, notepad.exe is 200 kb.

How much space and ram does this use?

The MacOS textedit bundle is 2 Mb too.

TextMate's bundle is 38 Mb but even that is probably less than a browser, npm and all the baggage it comes with.

This notepad comes with a whole react framework, so take that as you will.
