BunnyPad - The Notepad for All

[garrystraityt]

So, uh, where do I begin? It's been... 3 years since development began. And in those 3 years, I've truly improved a "silly little project" into a true masterpiece.

BunnyPad is a free and open-source notepad application written in Python, with security and customizability in mind, essentially being the CrDroid of notepads.
Currently, we have established compatibility with Windows 7 SP1 on the PyQt5 variant, but we're still aiming backwards!

Oh, and we can fit on the Discord CDN!

if you cannot support the fact that the new world of old tech is being ran by us, then you're more than welcome to get the fuck out.


Additionally, we do not persecute anyone, we simply do not like Nazis or MAGAts.
As for why my post regarding the official stance in regards to the current administration is still here, it's because k4sum1 approved it before I sent it. In fact, K4sum1 helped me write it.

IDGAF what you think, but if you wanna harass people just because they're not like you, then you don't belong on this forums. Both of you have been reported to the moderators and owner btw ;D

By the way, this is just plain just not happening. The Eclipse New World Order and summarily executed was just me making up as insane and false claims mostly for the funny and to try to get you to recognize how far fetched your statement is.

However Garry is now mod and you are at his mercy.

Also have a funny

Ah yes, ImWolf, a future where you have more competition for a job and don't automatically get hired just because you're a white male. That's surely a horrible fate.

Actually, nah. If you wanna live in a society where you get hired over a female just because you stand to pee, then you really need to learn to respect people. Who the fuck cares if someone is trans, is lesbian/gay, has multiple partners, etc.? Not me. I only consider their knowledge and ability, not their body and background.

HI there ... does this mean this project will eventually work on XP?

Thank you for your hard work a and know the community appreciates you - never change a thing to please others - only self. You have helped someone out there by showing we don't tolerate bigotry.

Take good care,

Sal

Actually, the PyQt5 version does run on XP x64 via OCAPI, but with limited functionality. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to run natively though

  * OS detection, CPU/GPU info, screen resolution  
  * File open/save dialogs, executable launching
- Added robust exception handling and user‑friendly error messages across all I/O and subprocess calls

While this list is incomplete, it gives a good idea about the changes users can expect.
Also, there have been issues with a missing DLL when running the PyQt5 variant under Windows 7. Dropping the missing dll into system32 fixes the issue, as does using dotexe1337's VxKex fork (without version spoofing). We will fix this issue in Version 11, which is when we also will attempt adding Windows Vista support.
