txt-notes

A simple note taking app that takes cues from Apple notes and popular code editors such as Brackets, VS-Code, and Atom.

Why?

This app was born out of my desire to combine the "latest notes on top" UX of the Apple notes app with the simplicity of editing local notes files in code editors such as Brackets and Atom.

I specifically wasn't a fan of how Apple notes stores notes files in email form, and code editors are a bit overkill for my purposes, so I took the pieces I liked from both and rolled my own here.
