The popular Notepad++ coding editor is now available as a native macOS app, following a successful open-source community port of the original Windows codebase. The Notepad replacement runs as a universal binary, so it works on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Notepad++ has been one of the most popular text editors on Windows for more than 20 years.

    This was pointed out last time this was posted but be wary,

    https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus-mac/notepad-plus-plus-macos

    The about page (https://notepad-plus-plus-mac.org/about/) also goes through great lengths to state how this was built off the original project and respects the license, but does not have a direct endorsement from the original dev. While none of this is strictly necessary or required, I think they are all data points worth considering.

      It’s a fork. This happens all the time. If you had an actual point besides how Claude loves to shove its name in repos, I’d take you more seriously.

      Developers (which you are clearly not) use AI for lots of stuff that isn’t actually generating code, like generating commit messages.

    It says it doesn’t make network connections, and yet I caught it making network connections.

    It’s also pretty crappy.
