By

Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
A warning about a fraudulent website (notepad-plus-plus-mac.org) that falsely claims to offer an official macOS version of Notepad++. The site uses the Notepad++ trademark without permission, includes the project owner's name and biography to appear legitimate, and is in no way affiliated with the actual Notepad++ project. The article serves as an official statement disavowing the fake site.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThis site has absolutely nothing to do with Notepad++.
It's not authorized, not endorsed, and not affiliated with the project in any way.
The owner is using the Notepad++ trademark (the name) without permission
This is misleading, inappropriate, and frankly disrespectful to both the project and its users.
