NoteKeeper

In my early days of coding, I wasn’t aware of any good note-taking solutions for Windows at the time.

I learned about this thing called HyperText Applications (HTA) – essentially apps that ran natively in the Windows environment without a browser, but written using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

This tool allowed me to manage .txt files in the filesystem through one interface, create new notes, save them, delete them, etc. The tool was very useful for me and I used it every day.

In hindsight, the UI choice (single page scroll within scroll) was very interesting and I would love to see what my younger self was thinking when he designed that. And unfortunately, only one super low resolution image exists of this. Maybe there’s more tucked away deep within one of my hard drives!
