creating a new note by double clicking would be nice, since the rate of notes created by mistake would be lower :) plus the image url feature doesn't work with any of my browsers (Mac OSX 10.6.5 Safari 5, Chrome 8, Firefox 4)

Needs localStorage.

Easy — just make it a CouchApp.

Kick Ass!. Plain and Simple. Some refinements - Mac, 10.6.5, Firefox 3.6.12, Creating a new note only happens in the lower right corner. I have to drag it more to be able to use the note. I would pay to use this on my small biz intranet. i.e license it.

Thanks Jason! I thinking about ways of monetizing this. Send me your email or twitter handle and we can talk about getting you in as beta users (to tim [at] timothyjcoulter.com, free/low cost in exchange for feedback).

Bug noted. Will def check it out!

Off topic as usual, but interesting from the developer and user point of view.

If you are going to give me a 10 char ID, please make it all lower case and without numbers, I hate hitting shift or having to move my eyes from the keyboard to the numpad and back.

So, aren't 26 lowercase chars enough?

26^10 = 141,167,095,653,376

A hundred and forty trillion options!

* Hey Tim, nice app btw.

Looks really good. One small refinement: deleted notes could appear on a list in the corner say - maybe with a screwed up motif - so I can recover something I delete by accident :-)

Thanks! Noted. For the image url, are you pressing enter after pasting your URL? Let me know if that doesn't work, and if not, we'll drill down into why it's not working for you (def want to fix it if it isn't).

Or better, give the option to change to a vanity id.

This thing would be great for story-boarding if it supported images and other media types. IFrame would be cool to be able to bring in external content into one of the notes. With a few more features, you got yourself a winner here. Making the controls contextual to the note could keep it simple. Let me know if you do decide to add other media types, I would be an avid user.

It appears that two browsers (Firefox and Chrome) on the same machine can edit a board, but it can't be edited by two or more machines at the same time. Bummer.

Img not working for me with / without pressing enter after pasting the url.
