Products that do what Simple Text Editor that auto saves txt files does
I created a text editor to use with Jira and their text formatting notation, or really any simple note taking or writing that a user would quickly want to save/have auto save. I used javafx, fxml, and netbeans ide. You can check out the Repo here (https://github.com/rossfletcher19/simpleTextEditor) and any input whatsoever is greatly appreciated. Btw this is also my first app ever, so yay me! ty again!

I'm not the author of the app (nor i have any connection with them, just a random user). iA Writer and Writer Pro aren't well suited for me as a developer. They feel quite "strange" to me. Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!

I blew off a bunch of "serious" side work last month and built a tiny little embeddable editing tool that I've wanted to have for Ars Technica since, well, the beginning of internet time. It lets any random user make edit suggestions for writers/editors to consider and act on. I think it's pretty cool and it's gotten some good use over the last few weeks. Of note, it's uses a single-field signup form. Edit administration is currently email based, so all it needs is an email address to get people going. I'm sure I'm not the only person to ever do this, but I basically just turned it on one…

After fine-tuning GPT for a personal project, I realized how tedious it is to write plain text in a massive JSON file. That's why I built this app for my own use, and I want to see if others could benefit from a tool like this as well ;)

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…

Textpod is a simple UI on top of a single notes.md file + a few features I always wanted: - add + in front of a link to fetch a local copy of the page (downloaded in the background using monolith[1]) - search is integrated into the note input, just start typing with / - attach images and other files (stored in 'attachments' directory) I made a 1-minute demo video (no sound) [2]. When you start the binary, the data is served from the current directory: the notes file and the attachments directory are created automatically. Run multiple instances from different directories, if needed (I…

I’m specifically looking for a tool a user shared on here that facilitated writing for content by scrolling up and disappearing text as new text was inputted. I believe it was a HTML/JSS only solution - a small personal project. I’ve done a lot of focused searches, but haven’t been able to find this comment. That said, I love these sorts of projects. I know they’re a self-indulgence and often a distraction. I’m celebrating that for a moment, personally. Please share your favorites writing tools, the smaller and more personal the better.

I made Really Simple Notes after getting frustrated with other note-taking apps. I found that I was spending more time formatting my notes than writing them. I like the sidebar navigation that Coda provides, but I hate how slow Coda is. I like how fast Google Docs is, but I don't like knowing that all my data goes to their servers; who knows what they are doing with my data? That's when I decided to create Really Simple Notes. It's an offline-only, no-formatting notes app with a sidebar to navigate notes. I've found that as I use it for personal notes, my productivity has increased…

I read Markdown all day, mostly Claude .md, and other AI outputs. Every app I have tried felt janky or too much work to just read an md file. I just wanted to open a .md file and read it the way Preview opens a PDF. So I built Kite, a Markdown reader for Mac. It has QuickLook just like Preview and I have baked in features that help people reading lot's of AI markdowns. It one-time purchase, no subscription. I put it on TestFlight so you can try it before paying anything. I would really like this crowd to try to break it. Tell me which files render wrong,what feels off, what is missing.…

Hi everyone! I want to share my Yoopta-Editor project with you. Yoopta - open-source rich-text editor for web apps. It’s packed with features that let you build an editor as powerful and user-friendly as Notion, Craft, Coda, Medium etc. This project was born from my own frustrations as a Front-End developer working with various WYSIWYG editors. Despite the prominence of many tools, none satisfied my fundamental needs. Yoopta-Editor It's not just another rich-text editor. It's a solution designed to overcome common challenges developers face with existing editors that are often limited,…

Hey guys, I needed a way to convert Code, CSV, and Markdown snippets to shareable images so I built this over the weekend. It all runs locally in the browser using a few lines of jQuery. Nothing fancy. Sharing in case someone else might find it useful!
