About

Draft was formerly known as ANFPad (and initially; List Manager). The development is active and the project is not abandoned.

Using it

You can grab the latest release of Draft at the releases section and run the installer like any other Electron application.
Note: At the moment, the GUI version is only a pre-release, so you would have to use that if you feel eager for it.

I'm living on the Edge, give me the latest features

You can simply grab a pre-release with the latest features or works that are under development. Keep in mind that things may break or appear unexpectedly.

I want to compile my own version

Well, you're in luck, there are two ways instructed in this file:

[RECOMMENDED] Using PowerShell

Prerequisites: PowerShell, Git and NodeJS. Now save the following code in a ps1 (such as run_anfpad.ps1) file and run it with PowerShell.

Now if you're wondering why PowerShell, that's because PowerShell Core is cross platform which means it'll work on all Windows, macOS and Linux which makes life easier.

$desktop = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop");
cd $desktop;
[Console]::Write("[GIT] Cloning respository...\n");
git clone https://github.com/ANF/Draft.git $desktop\Draft;
[Console]::Write("[NPM] Installing node_modules...\n");
npm install;
# Start Draft
[Console]::Write("[ELECTRONJS] Building Draft...\n");
npm run start;
[Console]::Write("[NPM] Starting...\n");
# Uncomment this part if you want an installer file.
# [Console]::Write("[ELECTRONJS] Creating installer...\n");
# npm run publish;
# [Console]::Write("[NPM] Created installer...");
# cd out\make\squirrel.windows\ia32;
# Invoke-Item .

Doing it manually

1. Download the repo:

2. Extract the (downloaded) zip file.
3. Open up a terminal such as command prompt.
4. cd into the directory you downloaded.
5. Run npm install && npm run start

draft's Issues

[BUG] Editor is not placed correctly

The editor's textarea tag needs to me moved a weee bit to the right because you cannot select text from the right side when in windowed mode.

Set the value of textarea to the file when opening it

Be able to directly open the application through a file with the extension enabled e.g, Foo.pad opens ANFPad with the text set as the value of the textarea

[Upgrade] Create ANF Pad a GUI app.

[FEATURE] A grammarly API connection

[BUG] Renaming a file throws an error.

[ENHANCEMENT] The user should have freedom to choose the file type when saving/opening

"File drag to open" support

When a file is dragged across from the screen onto the textarea of the notepad, it should open it.

Test

This is a test issue

Update screenshots included in README.md

screenshots of the product included in readme.md is not updated, it is using product's old name.

[FEATURE] Add new file and close file options.

[ENHANCEMENT] Store settings inside of a local file instead of a text file

[ENHANCEMENT] A Ctrl + F shortcut key

A shortcut key that uses Ctrl + F like Visual Studio Code/2019.

[BUG] Edit menu doesn't function.. at all

[FEATURE] Menu bar is needed.

[BUG] Keyboard shortcuts still work when minimized

Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + S still work in Draft disabling everything else.

Test issue

This is a test issue.

[ENHANCEMENT] Option to close a file but still keep the editor open

Add custom titlebar

If we are going to create a menu bar, as referenced in issue #6, it would be nicer to implement a custom-made title bar so that it's easier to develop the rest instead of redoing it again.

[BUG] Shortcut keys respond when the application is minimized

Icon does not display in the published package.

The ANFPad icon should be displayed correctly, but for some reason it does not work as expected.

[BUG] Editor goes out of place

ANFPad's textarea goes out of place when a lot of text is written - more specifically when the scroll bar apears.

Full screen view:

[BUG] Theme buttons aren't checked

Add CI badge

[DOCUMENTATION] Show previews of ANFPad in the readme file

[ENHANCEMENT] Listen to the tab key

When the tab key is pressed; it should insert 4 spaces.

File Save/Open prompts do not work properly or are not functional

As this is a text editor, it is vital for it to be able to save files and open them.

Electron auto-update

The application should be able to automatically update using the github releases page.

Add function to delete lists

Lists can become a junk and there is no way to remove it except going into it's data file.

[FEATURE] Create a settings menu

[BUG] Scroll bar's color does not update when changing the theme

Add `tab` and `shift+tab` hotkeys

Like the ones they have in most IDEs, that indent and de-indent lines.

Note: I'm gonna do this in a pr (most likely tomorrow)

[MISSING CODE] Global theme variable should get updated when changing theme

[BUG] Opening a file doesn't display text as expected

Code: https://github.com/ANF-Studios/ANFPad/blob/acb3d74141865c63c00ff3ff4b657ffa8e00e00f/src/components/index.ts#L10-L13
