A minimal notepad – without the cloud or 3rd party libs▲7
I made this tiny notepad website, to write things down in your browser. The Features - Just saves to your browser's localstorage (no cloud or login) - Export to TXT file - Formatting keyboard shortcuts - Works offline - Super fast The Tech - Single HTML file - 20 lines of JS + service worker (for offline usage) - Using pure CSS for modals - Github pages hosting - Basically it's just a "contenteditable div" with some extra features - Source -> https://github.com/benwinding/localnotes.page It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline…

NotepadJs – A cross-platform love letter to Notepad▲145
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!
