[Feature Request] Sticky notes

[VaZark]

Are there any plans to add a sticky notes functionality for tasks?

One way to do it would be to ensure that the sticky notes window can be just the current task window with the header bar hidden and the actions bar fading in on selecting the task.

Do you think it will be easy to implement as a plugin or does it requires changes to the core application?

Hmm, well I frequently leave task windows open throughout the day; what would be the added benefit of them not having their toolbar shown? I don't see the point of that, to be honest, unless you want a real memo app, which isn't really what GTG is (you might prefer to use GNote for that). How would you even differentiate between tasks that need it and tasks that don't? And what if as a user you change your mind along the way? Hidden controls sound counterproductive from a usability perspective.

If your goal is to prominently feature your "top 3 tasks to do today" on a daily basis without even having them as open windows, that I could see the benefit from a usability perspective: maybe with some sort of "pinning" system in the main window that automatically resets after a configurable amount of hours/days, for users who can't rely just on the duedate-based urgency sorting system. I think I'd happily use that myself for days where I lack focus :)

This can be done through the plugin system. You could add an option to the right click menu to pop a task into a sticky note. Then you'd have to create a Gtk.Window yourself, put a textview (or taskview) in it and fill it with the task contents.

This ticket is a bit unfocused, so let's close this in favor of:

• Starring / pinning daily goal tasks for the day (or week), and integration with "one thing" GNOME Shell extensions #948
• Revamp the export plugins, offer Markdown export and Gnote memo export/integration, for archival purposes #974
