About

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. It supports 2 modes:

Local FS mode: Uses a fairly modern File System Access API to allow reading and writing of local files. This API is not supported in Firefox.
Local storage mode: Uses the browser local storage to store the files. This mode is supported in all modern browsers.

Also worth mentioning: this is my first time using Vue, so some things might not make perfect sense. Criticism, issues and PRs are welcome.
