Really neat, but what if I get lost? Maybe some sorta thing to zoom out, not sure. But its really nice!

Definitely. I'm thinking how I can implement that, possibly a mini-map or a snazzy zoom out feature. Definitely will come in a future release.

Very cool! I need some more colors and other type of post-it (photos?) though before I seriously consider using it...

One of the top requested features so far (colors). I have it on my list.

Very well done. It's nice and simple as software should be.

Could you make it more obvious where to click and hold to drag?

I think you want to allow the user to select the text with the mouse without moving the note, but maybe some kind of styling at the bottom and top of the note to designate a "drag" zone.

I can see some sort of coordinate system being useful if I wanted to send someone a link to a particular item / patch of cork.

I agree. It would be much clearer if you used a hover css property and put cursor: move;

Doesn't work with some character sets. I just entered:

これは、いくつかの日本です

Then went away and came back, and all the characters had turned to question marks.
