Once nothing more than a basic text editor, Windows Notepad has been expanded in recent years to become almost a fully-fledged word processor. For some people, the little tool has become synonymous with Microsoft's penchant for bloat and unnecessary changes, so one former Redmond coder decided to do something about it.
The person in question is Dave Plummer, and we've written about his past work and exploits many times over the years. These days, he regularly posts videos on his YouTube channel, Dave's Garage, and earlier this week, he showed how he created an app that replicated the original Notepad, with the goal of keeping everything under 4 kB.
