I recently spoke to @ductionist of @usercamp about the app, developing for Windows, design etc.

I make a lot of sense on-the-go. But I feel more at home on Windows 10 — delighted to be available on the Microsoft Store!
If you ever use Notepad as a text springboard, ruff is highly recommended as it was specifically designed for this purpose.

Hello World! Yes, I'm still here 👋 I've been on hiatus as @mtrostyle focuses on other fun projects, but he was kind enough to push out a few maintenance updates recently: mtrostyle.net/appytext/chang…. Expect more of the same in the near future if/when needed. 1/2

If it's more substantial updates you're after, then you'll need to wait till 2020 when hopefully @mtrostyle will make the time to work on a 2.0; unfortunately, at this point, I desperately need to be re-written to support new features and a refreshed experience.

I've learnt that a no-name developer can't launch a paid up-front app in 2019. I tried, it failed. Now let's go again.
I'm back from the vets. They said I could only improve if I went free*. Head over to @GooglePlay and get me!
* with an inexpensive in-app purchase that removes ads, enables stashing and supports an indie dev <3

As a modern replacement for Windows Notepad, @appytext provides a clean interface for putting words on the page. A $4 in-app purchase unlocks premium features, such as Markdown support and a “focus” mode that strips away all UI elements while you type. buff.ly/2pqIUhs
In such awesome company — 1 of 25 best productivity apps for 2018!! Thank you @FastCompany's @OneJaredNewman for the recommendation.

1.5.1 out, couple of improvements requested by users:
* Added keyboard shortcut for em dash (—): Ctrl + -.
* Pressing middle mouse button when cursor over tab will now close the file.

Thanks so much @ShirtShanks @NeowinFeed for the recommendation. Happy to see that the app is still being depended on approaching its first birthday. Here's to growing up more before terrible twos. nitter.gq/NeowinFeed/status/9699…

This would help with the maintenance side of things too, meaning it becomes faster and easier to introduce other improvements. After .5 worth of updates, with the existing code-base it's become slightly awkward to update and improve things more.

FWIW: Fluent would have probably been introduced by now were it not for my pretty inflexible layout code. This has lead me to re-evaluate whether it makes sense to clean up the code first to help accommodate Fluent. Means it will take longer but with bonus performance gains.

@appyweather has been getting more of my @mtrostyle's attention recently. But I heard he's made steady progress and that he might actually (and finally) be able to commit more time to me again soon. Fingers crossed.

Hello World!
Back after a break. Sorry for the delays.
Updates moving forward will target the Fall Creators Update, starting with 1.5. It's a small but necessary one. Details here: mtrostyle.net/appytext/chang….
Gone quiet lately as @mtrostyle's busy wrapping up work on Football Manager 2018. Once that's out in November, expect Fluent goodness.
