Minimal Text Editor (Lite) For Windows

Create notes and export them in universal format :)

Minimal Text Editor (Lite)

With Minimal Text Editor (Lite), you can create, save and organize your notes in several different formats (json, pdf, doc and html). Your notes are saved automatically, where you can set such saves from time to time. With this app, you will be able to create your notes using structured blocks, with support for:

• Headers
• Paragraphs
• Images
• Checklists
• Lists (ordered and unordered)
• Quotes
• Code blocks
• Tables
• Links
• Embeds (e.g., videos, tweets)
• Delimiters
• Raw HTML

The idea is that you can export your notes in JSON format, allowing other applications to interpret them universally, and thus organize your note with customized layouts (which were defined by your application).

Additionally, you can open your notes within the application (as long as they are in JSON format). You can download the executable installer in your homepage.

• Don't forget to update all other languages files (JSON) so that they recognize the text of the new language that has been added.
• Inside ViewModel > SettingsModalWindowVM.cs, and update the UpdateLanguageInDatabase method to accommodate the new language.
