auto save feature and multiple tabs
This is what I wanted as an alternative to Notepad. It's NOT suitable as a programming environment; you'd be better off with Geany or something. But that's not always what I need, sometimes I just want something FOR MAKING NOTES, and Notepads is exactly the iteration on Notepad that I was looking for for that use case.
good and easy app, but no win32 exe version, also no portable version and it's limited in customization area
Best notepad, it does everything that does the default Notepad but better and the interface looks similar but better. And last but not least i love the backup feature.
It's free, open-source, fast, small (9 MB), and good-looking. It has all the basic features. I wouldn't use it for Markdown, though.
From its github page:
Cool, modern, lightweight and blazingly fast text editor with tabbed UWP interface and several other features.
