Room for improvements?

You bet!

This project was simply to explore some of the features of Electron. There's a lot that can be done here, some of which can be

  • Checking whether a file already exists.
  • Dealing with unsaved files when moving between them.
  • Actually convert content to markdown.
  • Store content using innerText rather than innerHTML.
  • And many more things which might be even more important than the above.
  • Better file organisation

But none of those will be added in this repository, the basic code here corresponds to the code snippets used in the tutorials.
