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!

This comment breaks both the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and the Show HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

Please don't dismiss other people's work like this. It poisons community and disincentivizes people from sharing in the future, making HN worse for all of us.

All: if your comment begins with a snarky "Great, another", you should probably rethink whether the entire post is suitable for this site.

p.s. I don't mean to pile on what dspillett already said and am sorry if it felt that way. I just need to say something because it's so important to the future of the community here. Especially when someone is personally sharing their own work.

I agree with you and wish I could delete my comment. I didn't realize this was a Show HN by the actual author, neither is HN a place for me to vent.

Don't worry! The only thing that matters is recalibrating going forward. If you're willing to do that, all will be well.

This whole thing is a learning process for all of us, and me most of all.

p.s. I appreciate your reply. It's not easy to be so open and most people can't or won't do it.
