The Simple Note Applet is just what it sounds like. It is a simple note taking applet for AWN. It's really meant just for quickly jotting things down. It's not going to replace Tomboy or BasKet Notes. Hell, it doesn't even stand up to Sticky Notes. But if you don't need a complicated full feature note taking app, this might be for you.

It's basically just a gtk.textview widget that save its contents to a backend, so they persist if you close AWN. I'm open to suggestions for more feature, but plan on keeping it as simple as its name.

I think it's a great simple applet. You could implement tab to have multiple notes in different tab. It would be nice.

great job !

Looks great. I was thinking about having very simple formatting options, such as bold and italic. Obviously I don't need advanced tables or images or anything of that sort, but bold/italics would help to highlight important text. I'm pretty sure that Pango works on TextViews with < b > and < i > tags.

Have you thought about integrating it with Tomboy? It should be simple enough using Tomboy's DBUS interface.
