Last Project: Simple Notepad Application with Classes

Project Description:

Create a Simple Notepad Application in Python using classes. This project will help you improve your file handling, user input, and basic data management skills.

Key Features:

1. Create a user interface that prompts the user to enter a note title and content.
2. Save user-entered notes to a text file.
3. Add a "View Notes" option so that the user can list the saved notes.
4. Add options that allow the user to delete or edit a specific note.

Extra Tips:

• Allow the user to provide a unique ID for each note, so they can manage notes more easily.
• Get confirmation from the user when editing or deleting notes and add security checks against errors.
• You can add a custom display layout to display your notes by formatting or coloring them properly.

Project Implementation:

    def __init__(self):
        self.notes = []
