Good stuff.

In terms of UX I'd propose one small change. Creating a new post-it by a simple click is too easy and becomes too accidental. An alternative way might be best.

Also ideally, implementing ctrl+z/y for undo/redo would be a big plus.

But good stuff.

What's with having to drag to pan? Is there some reason you decided to not use native scrolling?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

everything disappeared when I dragged the viewport/board.

What browser were you on?

Chrome 10.0.648.205 on Ubuntu 10.10 with Adblock (which sometimes gives me wonkiness)

I like it. I don't think this will replace my stickies in OSX dashboard...but overall well done.

Great, except people don't use stickies on a corkboard. They use push-pins. If you had custom push-pins, that would add something aesthetically. Also, if you could embed something on the corkboard, like a scribd document, that'd be very useful.

Ya, I was about to say, I saw this at least a year ago. Doesn't seem to have changed much.

Beats the one we hacked together over here a bit back, although we've got pins. http://corknik.com

I like it as a demo, but if I were ever to actually use it I would want to have an account, a login, not just a URL to bookmark.

That said, don't know if I would find something like this useful if I were to try using it.
