Tried it out, still doesn’t feel “native”

- cant drag a file to the dock icon to open it

- closing the window, quits the app

Didn’t test much, but I wish the team the best of luck! It’s a cool project

As someone who is currently building a native macOS application (cross-platform actually), but haven't used macOS as my "main OS" for more than a decade, what's the most important things to make desktop applications "feel native" on macOS?

Excellent documentation in Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...
WillAdams•38m ago
Use the native text objects --- in particular, this will get you emacs style editing keyboard shortcuts

Support drag-drop

Support Services --- bonus points for implementing core functionality as a Service and making it available thus

vadansky•51m ago
I've been using Notepad Next, it supports leaving all your tabs open when you close the window which is the main feature I need. But I do miss the plugins.
DeathArrow•52m ago
Wow! As a heavy Notepad++ on Windows I am really happy. I haven't found anything to replace Notepad++ on Mac for me.

Sublime Text. The elder and chief of them all. The inspirer.
tdsanchez•35m ago
Bbedit is better than Sublime and is arguably more refined.

I use it and Bbedit and vi.

nneonneo•27m ago
BBEdit is wonderful. I got hooked by TextWrangler and eventually bit the bullet to upgrade, and it was a great decision.

I’ve used Sublime (3 and 4), VSCode, Notepad++, vi, etc.; even made some plugins for Sublime, and I still vastly prefer BBEdit.

moron4hire•34m ago
"The inspirer" huh? So Sublime Text went back in time 5 years and inspired Notepad++?
delfinom•24m ago
To burst your bubble, Notepad++ is the elder to Sublime Text by 5 years.

This was on HN a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47916964

,and there it was mentioned that it is __not__ an official port and has nothing to do with the original Notepad++ author!

stanac•29m ago
And domain is different than original Notepad++, now it makes sense.
trinix912•27m ago
Different yet similar enough to make it seem legit at first. The only "giveaway" for me was the website looking like any other vibecoded SaaS website. Not a good sign for me personally.
alsetmusic•41m ago
Yeah, that's not gonna hit. Non-native UI in an app that no Mac plain-text user asked for. I love Sublime, but TextMate was once king. There are already plenty of good options. I also love VIM for saving test to specific locations while I'm on the command line (I have an `sb` alias for Sublime but I don't want to switch away from my terminal window unless the corpus is large or complex).

>an app that no Mac plain-text user asked for

I mean, if I got brain damage and decided to switch from Windows to OSX, I'd appreciate the option of being able to continue using Notepad++.

layer8•24m ago
With that kind of brain damage, you might very well not appreciate it anymore. ;)
fluoridation•9m ago
No, I would.

Mac graybeards everywhere are snickering knowing that most people are UNAWARE of Bbedit.

When I was a Mac guy, I LOVED BBedit! I purchased the full-blown package.

>The only difference is that the menus, dialogs, file pickers, keyboard shortcuts, and windowing all use native macOS Cocoa APIs.

Why would I want native macOS dialogs where the save as dialog can only show 32 characters on the screen at once? I use LibreOffice on Mac mostly because it allows me to use their dialogs instead of the crap macOS ones...

nneonneo•32m ago
One big reason is sandboxing - the native dialogs can view the entire filesystem hierarchy and automatically grant access to selected resources to the calling app. Non-native dialogs are restricted to whatever the app has access to, which means you often have to give the apps Full Disk Access to make them work properly.
anonthrownaway•17m ago
Good point. I forgot that I had to do that...
LeCompteSftware•33m ago
This story is so irresponsible.

>> Notepad++ for macOS is maintained by Andrey Letov, who wrote the Objective-C++ Cocoa UI that replaces Notepad++'s Win32 front-end. The app is available to download from the Notepad++ website.

That is not the Notepad++ website! It's some other website. I understand that this is a fairly legitimate and professional port. But this framing is unacceptable. It's especially grating considering "Notepad++" is trademarked in France: https://data.inpi.fr/marques/FR5133202 [1]. The software is GPL but that doesn't mean you can slap the trademark on any derived codebase - legally problematic in France, but it's disrespectful worldwide. The Mac port really should have been released under a similar but clearly distinct name, and MacRumors should have been way more responsible about framing the story.
