Msg: Re: T/OT: Vibe coding a Windows notes app with Claude

Hi Carl,

That was quick! Can I always find the latest version at

https://ammaze.net/xywwweb/dls/quicknotes.py

or do you copy the file there only occasionally? (Github wouldsmall">

It's a wonderful project. Of the many great features, the possibility of giving files (notes) tags seems particularly useful. I haven't seen that feature in any other editor (but I'm not knowledgeable of what's out there). I haven't seen live preview of Markdown elsewhere either, although I suppose there must be other editors that have it (and I know that it is possible with HTML/_javascript_).

Thank you!

Martin

Martin,

Done. Also, made several other fixes and implemented 63 new commands/functions. (XyWrite commands and two-character functions are all treated as commands in QuickNotes.)

Download:
