- IvanK_net 9y agoThanks! I write my code in Notepad++, then I merge all files into one file pp.js and minify it with SQZR.js (my owm minifier, performs the same thing as Closure Compiler, but is about 50x faster). The result is here: https://www.photopea.com/code/pp.js https://www.photopea.com/code/pp.js
- ship_it 9y agoOff topic but why Notepad++?
- roryisok 9y agoWhy not? It's a great text editor. People code all the time in vim or emacs and nobody complains
- IvanK_net 9y agoI accidentally installed it a long time ago, got used to it and did not feel any need to change until then. I could use a simpler text editor, but I quite enjoy syntax highlighting, having multiple files open at once, and Find and Replace tool.
- yathern 9y agoI don't think you can compare your minifier to the Closure Compiler. For one, it doesn't type check or transpile. But I definitely commend the DIY attitude!

- mkhalil 9y agoYou're admitting to writing this in Notepad++ (on HN to boot) makes me feel obsolete. I'm the type to constantly look for better tooling/editors/frameworks and get tired of "working" before actually starting the project. You made this lovely feature-rich photo editor with Notepad++ and what seems Ext.JS and vanilla JS. You inspired me today. Thank you.
- vatotemking 9y agoYou're very talented. Other than photopea, those are some pretty good libs you have in github. Im starring it now and will check it over weekend (Im into image processing and stuff).
