I've tried various to-do managers, notes apps, etc over the years. Everything from Google tasks to 37 signals stuff, Remember the Milk, etc, etc. Nothing has stuck for me.

Until this. Don't know what it is about it, perhaps the free form nature of the UI, but it is one of the tabs I keep open all the time with a big pile of 'to-do' items on.

My main concern is actually having it just disappear! I'd like to see the opportunity to pay for it just to know there is an account there and be more assured it will stay around.

This makes me happy. If you had to name a price what would it be?

Something in the $4.99 a month range would be a no-brainer.

Going forward I'd see the most important features to add as:

* some simple text formatting: bold, italics, bullet points. * clickable URLs (opening in a new tab) * a way to cycle throw the Z-order of the stickies, I keep moving them around to uncover the ones underneath * fixing the weird bug where by new stickies appear off screen sometimes (Chrome 12 on Windows 7) * Iframe integration -- let me create a sticky that embeds an arbitrary iframe. This would open up a whole pile of possibilities. * Integration with a mobile app that replaces the corkboard metaphor with a simple pile of notes.

How about letting users decide how much to pay?

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.

Don't judge me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

It was released Dec. 2nd, so not that long. There are competitors. Big things coming soon.

Hasn't the project been live for much longer than that? I feel like I used it a long time ago... maybe it was one of these competitors you speak of...

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

Just a guess... but I'd say they wanted to make it tablet-friendly.

Hmm...doesn't seem to play well with Safari on iOS...no obvious way to move or resize a sticky.
