[Feature request] WinUI 3? #1082

Open DanRotaru opened 2 years ago

Why to not create transition to Win UI 3? Or maybe just create another branch, app with implemented win ui 3 and let users choose what they need. It will be great! Thanks.🙂

To be honest, what we really need is a simple text editor that built on top of:

WinUI 3.1/3.2 + Scintilla (the rich edit control used by notepad++ and other editors) + Mica.

That will solve all the pain-points Notepads currently have. But I don't have the time or energy to do so since it requires a rewrite of the entire codebase. However, if someone is interested, that's the way to go.
