What is Notepads and why do I care?

I have been waiting long enough for a modern Windows 10 notepad app to come before I decided to create one myself. Don’t get me wrong, Notepad++, VS Code, and Sublime are great text editors. I have used them all and I will continue to use them in the future. However, they are either too heavy or look less appealing. There are times that I just wanted to use Windows notepad for things like writing notes or editing config files. So I decided to create a win32 notepad replacement here and try to give it a modern look and feel. Most importantly, it has to be blazingly fast and appeals to everyone.

So here comes the “Notepads” 🎉 (s stands for Sets).

To be 100% transparent:

I am using analytics service "AppCenter" to collect basic usage data plus some minimum telemetry to help me debug runtime errors. Here is the thread I made clear on this topic: https://github.com/0x7c13/Notepads/issues/334

Feel free to review the source code or build your own version of Notepads since it is 100% open sourced.

TL;DR: You might notice that I work for Microsoft but Notepads is my personal project that I accomplish during free time (to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more😃). I do not work for the Windows team, nor do I work for a Microsoft UX/App team. I am not expert on creating Windows apps either. I learned how to code UWP as soon as I started this project, so don’t put too much hope on me or treat it as a project sponsored by Microsoft.

换用它之前有什么需要注意的限制吗?有几个 UWP 的限制:不能把文件保存到系统文件夹,不能把 .cmd 或 .bat 文件关联到它,而且大文件有上限——目前限制为 1MB。
macOS 或 Linux 上也能用吗,还是只有 Windows 版?只有 Windows 版:它是一款 UWP 应用,定位是现代化的 Windows 10 记事本,没有 Mac 或 Linux 版本。
它会收集我的数据吗?它不收集用户信息,不追踪 IP,也不记录你的输入内容和文件。不过它使用 AppCenter 分析服务收集基础使用数据,外加少量遥测数据来排查运行时错误。
它是免费的吗?我能看源代码吗?它是免费的,并且基于 MIT 许可证 100% 开源,你可以查看代码,也可以构建自己的版本。
作者为什么不直接用 Notepad++ 或 VS Code,而要自己开发这个?他也用那些编辑器,但觉得它们对于快速记笔记、改配置文件来说太笨重,也不够顺眼。Notepads 是他打造的一款 win32 记事本替代品,现代、极速、人人都喜欢。
