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

If you paste an image URL into a note it shows the image

Can't get that to work on Chrome, Mac, 7.0

Looks like a neat idea, but can you please add a Terms of Service page, even if it's just a brief one? That might set folks a bit more at ease for posting their TODOs and reminders.

I did a corkboard concept over a year ago but it was mostly a UI exercise that incorporated mouse gestures for input (there was no backend). http://blog.pekpongpaet.com/2009/04/13/concept-virtual-corkb... Flash-haters don't hate

Needs localStorage.

It would be nice if you allowed us to rename our corkboard (corkboard.me/[my_name_or_whatever]) to something more meaningful, then I can get to it from work or home without checking my delicious account.

This is very easy to do. Will be in the next release. --Tim

Couple of bugs in Opera 11 beta.

New notes only appear in the middle of the entire board. When I close a note, it pops up a new one.

It would be nice to be able to zoom in and out to see more or less at a time. In general, this concept lands itself well for Google maps API where you model your board as a map and it handles scrolling and zooming for you.

Edit: something similar to this http://www.conwaylife.com/

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.

Needs localStorage.

… but still retain server based storage

… and resolving my offline updates with the server

… even the provably incompatible ones

We are users! We want everything! Especially the impossible. And keep it free.
