Notpad: Reinventing the Ordinary Notepad Experience with Svelte, Shadcn, and Tauri ✨📝🚀

Hi, Dev Community! 👋

I’m excited to introduce Notpad, my modern take on the classic notepad app we all know and love. This isn’t just another text editor—it’s built using Svelte, Shadcn, and Tauri to combine simplicity with a fresh, modern touch.

Why Notpad?

Notpad is a result of my love for open-source development. Working on this project has been an enjoyable journey, and I’d love for the community to shape its future with me. Whether you’re a curious user or someone passionate about contributing, your input is incredibly valuable!

Let’s face it: notepad apps come pre-installed on almost every OS these days, making it tough to stand out. That’s why I’ve focused on introducing exciting features that make Notpad fun, useful, and truly unique! 🎉
