    :ledger: An offline capable Notepad PWA (by amitmerchant1990)

    Project mention: Hacktoberfest - The First Pull Request | dev.to | 2025-10-11

    My First Attempt The first repo that I've worked on is a Notepad web app by Amit Merchant. It's an offline capable Notepad Progressive Web App, which could also be accessed via this link, written in mostly JavaScript. I found that the repo was properly maintained, so I tried out the app via the link. While I was exploring different functions of the app, I found the title case conversion function in the Case Converter, which is something that I need, even when writing this blog! I then started testing the function, and looked into the files to understand the structure and the codes, and suggested some improvement on the codes in this issue and made a pull request.
