Working on a C++ / DirectX12 notepad as fun / side-project (started after MS made notepad do stuff its not supposed to do like auto-sign-in). Its around 2MB with static linking (no vcruntime dynamic linking). zoom, multi-lingual, custom UI (my custom from scratch UI on top of directx12), lines, split down / up, copy/paste. UTF-8 support isn't perfect although it does display stuff but editing isnt perfect.

Vision: No fluff / no plugin / multi-lingual / simple text editing with fast startup and core editing features.
