Simple Notepad Version 1.3.0

Hot on the heals of version 1.2.0 comes version 1.3.0. This time with a bit more feedback on synchronization. There is now a synchronization status bar at the bottom giving you feedback about when the last synchronization happened, allowing to synchronize now and if synchronization is disabled it allows you to turn it on.

New version. So What's changed? You can now resize the note area to what ever size you want give it a go...

Simple Notepad Version 1.1

I've just released the latest version of Simple Notepad. So what's new? To be honest it's only a single feature: Cursor/selection memory; when you leave your note and go back to it the cursor/selection is still present, even when you change note and go back to it the cursor is just where you left it. My hope with this (as with everything with Simple Notepad) is that it is so simple that you don't even notice it, but it should really enhance the usability of Simple Notepad.

The Simple Notepad Goal

It's been out in the wild for a few weeks now so I thought that I would detail what I wanted from Simple Notepad. To create a notepad that was easy to use - usability is always high up my list of priorities. I could create multiple notes (not all of the existing notepad extensions can do this). Would synchronize my notes to Google docs. These seem like simple enough goals. I guess the other unwritten goal was to learn and use some of the HTML5 features that are supported by Chrome. So with that in mind I set about it.
