    dedtxt

     Like

    A dead simple plain-text editor. A bit like TextEdit or Notepad but even simpler and with fewer features. No hidden text. No formatting. No settings. One textarea and the current file. Raw bytes in, raw bytes out, UTF-8 by default, no line-ending weirdness. Install easily as a web app.
