Introducing Helix Notes 0.1

[knopper67]

This is a little project I've been working on for a few days now. It's a lightweight note taker written in python made to be a non-mono alternative to tomboy notes.

All that works at the moment is basic note taking, autosaving, and the extension system (along with a test extension).

Anyway, heres the link:


Edit: I deleted my mediafire account, I'm disgraced with the amount of adverts on the site. Download is now here, on my personal website:

Edit: Code is now hosted here on launchpad

Enyjoy!


Apology to the mods if this is in the wrong forum, wasn't too sure...

Yowzer. First Gnote and now this. I predict arguments in this thread.

In any event, it seems to work. A bit basic at the moment, though. Good luck for your project.

The problem is, that they are about 50 note taking applications already.

Although this one could be a winner.

Just out of interest, I am interested in learning python.

So the question is where do I start so I can create a simple hello world app in Ubuntu, preferably that appears in a window.

Thumbs up to the idea of writing some new software, thumbs down to your file host. Opens popups and crap all over the place. My advice is to find a better place to put your files. I'd like to try out your program, but not fighting my way through ridiculous popups like that.

Orlsend,

The problem is, that they are about 50 note taking applications already.

Even if there's 6,000 note taking programs out there, the fact the guy wrote a new one is commendable, not condemnable. If you can do better, write one, if you can't, and don't wanna use his software, then just move along to the next thread. Innovation comes about by people giving it a go, not by saying "well something already exists, so I won't even bother improving on the idea". Encourage innovation, don't try to stifle it.

Yes good on the guy for having a go.

I use adblock plus, so I completely forgot about the ads on that page, I disabled it for a sec and I was horrified to see how many ads and popups there were. So sorry about that... Do you know of any better ones?

Second, Why do so many people think that I'm anti-mono? All I hate about mono is the fact that the company behind it did some shady stuff in the past. That has totally erased any of my trust for them.

And lastly, Gnote is a port of Tomboy to C++, so in the end, it's still tomboy. My goal is to create a BETTER program than that, from scratch.
