Latest version
Version 0.0.17
Released Sep 15, 2026 - 598.14 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and laterNotes stay where you put them.
A note you dragged somewhere went back to where you made it the next time the page loaded.
Reported as "when i add a sticky note and place it somewhere the place of that sticky note
not saving in that page ever" — and that is what it looked like, but the position was being
saved correctly all along. It was being saved, read back, and then overruled.
A note remembers what it is stuck to, so that it can follow the words when a page reflows —
an advert loads, a cookie banner appears, an article is edited. On every load it asked the
page where that content is now, and then put the note there, at the content, rather than
where you had left the paper. Since the content is usually a run of text a line or two away
from where you dropped the note, every note drifted back to the neighbourhood it was born in,
every single time.
Now the page is asked a different question: not where does this note belong, but how far
has the thing it is stuck to moved since I last put it down. A page that has not changed
moves a note by nothing at all. A page that grew a banner overnight moves it down by the
height of the banner — which is what anchoring was always for, and it still does that.
And a note now re-anchors to whatever it lands on when you drop it, so dragging one next to a
different paragraph attaches it to that paragraph.
Two more things that were set and not kept, found while fixing the first:- A locked note came back unlocked, and
- a note you raised to the front dropped back behind its neighbours. Both are stored
fields; neither was ever written after the note was created.
Notes made before this release keep the exact position you last left them at. They pick the
page back up — following content as it moves — the first time you move them.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
Older versions
Version 0.0.16
Released Sep 8, 2026 - 597.46 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and laterFixed: notes could become transparent and stop responding to clicks, usually just after creating one, and only a page reload brought them back. Holding Alt is meant to make notes see-through so you can read and click the page underneath; on Windows the key-release event can be delivered to the browser instead of the page, and the notes stayed that way. Any click, keystroke, or switching window or tab now clears it, and Alt has to be held briefly before anything fades.
This version also carries everything from 0.0.9 onwards:- Typing is now saved as you type. Before, a note you wrote and reloaded came back empty unless you had pressed a formatting shortcut while writing it.
- A note pinned to one page no longer appears on every page of a single-page app.
- Persian, as a language you can choose: the whole interface, right to left. English remains the default.
- Choose where a note shows: this page, this section of the site, the whole site, or every page.
- Hold Alt to read and click the page under your notes.
- Edit a note's text from the cabinet, and give a note a name separate from its text.
- Version history, scheduled backup, import that writes, and export as Markdown files or one HTML page.
- Six typefaces bundled, so nothing is fetched from the network and Persian looks right without installing anything.
- The dark theme redrawn: graphite rather than black, with every text-on-background pair measured for contrast.
- "Check for update" no longer hangs on "Checking...".
- Four settings that did nothing were removed.
