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!

Readers might be interested in notepad-next, which is under active development and cross platform: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext

...or you could bundle this Notepadjs as an Electron app and subsequently install it via Flatpak (if you're on Linux)

(I'm only half-kidding)
