Add notepad to replit tools

replit should have a notepad where you can take notes about what you want to include in your project.

markdown kinda helps write stuff down but the tool should have more of an interface like apple’s notes app…

While this is a valid recommendation, adding a file with .txt at the end serves as a valid substitute for a notepad.

Hi @miistyy if you create a notes.md file in any Repl you can add information which stays with your project. If you want to include a screenshot here just snip and paste.

If you want to add a drawing e.g. a flow chart or UI design just create a file called anything.draw and you’ll see a basic drawing package. Hope this helps!

Oh I remember the .draw file.

Do you mean something like checkboxes when you say “apple interface”?
Because you can code html in markdown, you can put checkboxes in it.

I think @miistyy wanted a GUI instead of it just being text-based.

As you can see in the screenshot, there is a GUI at the top with options for links, tables, checklist, text styles, etc. I think that these are what’s wanted by the user so people don’t need to learn markdown in order to make notes like this.

Oh, then Replit can make a seperate window and use something like the post/comment interface we have here. That actually sounds pretty useful for better documentation.

I’m guessing something like this in terms of Javascript.
window.open("https://replitnotes.com", "popup")

This will be possible with extensions upon their release! In their current state, having notes as a separate tab is quite simple.
