MyLittleEditor
A simple RTF editor for Desktop.
Why?
I wanted a small, fast application to edit text with a minimum of formatting.
RTF is a good old file format even it is not open (RTF is owned by Microsoft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format))
But there is no very light/simple application for GNU/Linux:
- All (Libre|Open|Microsoft|…)Office applications are too heavy for such a small format,
- AbiWord is small enough, but RTF is not the default format.
This application
This application is made with FreePascal/Lazarus and use the RichMemo LCL.
Warning: RichMemo is not installed by default, take a look to the freepascal wiki to install it. Otherwise you will not be able to compile the projet.
Credits
RTF Lazarus component
RichMemo from Dmitry Boyarintsev and other contributors. RichMemo is released under the LGPLv2.
Logo and icon
Warning: The pony was generated by ChatGPT. I'm a developer not an artist so I use the tools I have access too when I need thing out of my scope.
