There are plenty of notepad applications, so this is just another one in the mix. The intent is not necessarily to make a word processor, there are plenty of those and they are much better than what I can do. The idea really stems from me wanting a better note taking application. Notepad is too limited and even though WordPad is close for an out of the box solution, at least in Windows, it still misses a few things I wanted in my day to day note taking workflow.
I probably should have called it WordPad light, but I still want the main theme to be for taking notes so I stayed with Notepad.
OneNote style apps are also close, but they are too open on a per page basis...I still like a line by line approach with some structure instead of a throw whatever you want on the page approach, which is more of a messy experience.
