@Exagone313 Wasn’t there something in the FAQ that it is not official? I can’t quite remember anymore but I stumbled on that one quite fast and didn’t think it was official. Besides, as mentioned before, I think that neither the original dev or the app Mac dev are drawing a good picture of them selves here. Mac dev sounds like a child and original dev is blowing the whole issue completely out of proportion and when the Mac dev agrees to rename but mentions that it takes a few days since the transition should be smooth, guy explodes and instantly reports him to cloud flare can (apparently, he said he did in a GitHub issue). I mean the guy is coding for a while now, he should know that you can’t just rename a giant project in 10 seconds. Just lowered the trust in both projects for me.

@randomfelix Notepad++ is an open source project. The developer doesn't use Apple devices, why would they port their software? This not a commercial project where you want to convert new users. They are not against having a third-party port as long as it respects their trademarks. Immediate report is the legal thing to do. Even if Notepad++ is not a commercial project, it is still trademarked.
