That is meaning the browser's menu. Perhaps there is better terminology that should be used here. The readme does show a screenshot of it, so it seems clear from that to me. The install option is found there.

Also in the readme: “Installable as a PWA”, which I think implies offline support, given it doesn't have sync features so has no reason once installed that way to talk to the wider network.
Cross platform refers to the application itself, not the files that it produces. TextEdit is a poor substitute, a much better alternative would be Sublime.
You've lost the context from a few posts up (and the original post) – the project being discussed states its intent to recreate the notepad experience in a cross-platform manner, hence “cross-platform” is relevant.
I'm sure this varies but, for me, on macOS Chrome, it's the '3 vertical dots' menu in the top right of the browser window. Very confusing instructions.
I also see an "Install Notepad" icon in my address bar, just to the left of the Bookmark icon. I never look in this area, though, so I totally missed it.

Nothing wrong as such, but does it match the “cross-platform” description?

As per the readme, it is using an API that is not yet supported in Firefox for local file access: https://caniuse.com/native-filesystem-api
