StickyNotes - note desktop software

What is 7 Sticky Notes?

Well, as you may have already noticed, 7 Sticky Notes is a desktop sticky notes program.

It all started when I begun searching for a free alternative for Windows Vista's notes. Something similar to Windows 7 notes, but with more features.

After trying almost every desktop notes softwares available around the internet, I realized that there weren't really good free notes softwares out there that were at the same time reliable, simple, with useful features and with convincing and realistic notes looks.

So, as I've always enjoyed programming, I decided to start a new project and make my own desktop notes program.

Since the beginning, the goal for the software was to make a professional-looking desktop notes software with as realistic notes graphics as possible. Putting it in another words, the goal was to make a very well finished program, simply because if it is good and is well designed, you would completely enjoy using it and would feel enthusiastic about continuing to use it, eventually getting rid of all the paper notes once and for all!

So I started working.

Well, I can say that I enjoyed very much the first steps of the project and, after the first version was ready and "usable", I liked it so much that I decided I would make it available online to whoever wanted to download it!

So, I created this website and named the software "7 Sticky Notes". The explanation for the name "7 Sticky Notes" is because it is a better and improved Windows 7 Desktop Notes.

The Technical Stuff

Currently 7 Sticky Notes is built using classic and good VB6.0. VB6 code is very fast to implement and to deliver (RAD), it is vastly documented and very popular all over the world, providing all what is necessary to build 7 Sticky Notes, including API calls and object oriented programming. Not to mention the low cost, since 7 Sticky Notes is free, this counts, a lot. Of course, I could make it using .NET, but 7 Sticky Notes was created to be light and fast, and I believe that for now the .NET framework can be too heavy and bloated for older computers and low-performance PCs, like Netbooks and Tablets. I do plan to migrate 7 Sticky Notes to .NET in the future though, but I will wait a bit so I am sure everyone can run it smoothly. As for the OS, 7 Sticky Notes is fully compatible and works great in Windows XP/2000, Vista, Seven, and Linux (experimental, under Wine), both 32 and 64 bit versions.

The Building Blocks

In order to provide a professional and greatly finished result, 7 Sticky Notes uses a few great third party libraries that are very much worth mentioning for their awesome help. These are Inno Setup for the setup package and TimoSoft Controls from TimoSoft-Software for the Unicode support.

Inno Setup is used to compile the 7 Sticky Notes setup package, and it is a great setup package builder created by Jordan Russell. I want to give Jordan the credits because Inno Setup allowed 7 Sticky Notes to have a top-level installing package without having to build it ground up. One of the best things of Inno Setup is its ability to provide a professional and customizable setup package with a very fast learning curve. Also Inno Setup is constantly under development, making Inno Setup my choice for the setup package compiler of 7 Sticky Notes.

TimoSoft Controls are used to allow Unicode support for key elements of the software, so people that use extended languages such as Georgian, Polish, Greek, and others can use 7 Sticky Notes in their native languages. The controls from TimoSoft-Software are free, fully compatible with all necessary Windows versions, constantly updated, and build to perfection both in integration and access. Not to mention the great support from TimoSoft and the large choices of other controls, made my decision to use them!

Free as in "free beer" and in "free speech"

7 Sticky Notes is completelly free and there are NO limitations on the number of notes you can create or of any other kind. Also as it was fully developed by me I assure that there are no spyware, adware or any other junk-ware in it (I also hate junk-ware). It also does not use the windows registry and has a very small footprint (only a few files), making it very transparent for the user.

You may use it at your work to remember e-mails, calls, meetings, appointments, reports, tasks. At home to not forget birthdays, bills to pay, things to fix, things to do, grocery to make. At school to always meet deadlines on papers, homework, tests. And also on every other thing you want, like taking your car to the carwash, going out with friends, family, girlfriend, that great concert you cannot miss, etc, etc, etc!

7 Sticky Notes can be used freely by anyone and you may give it to your friends, talk about it and recommend it on your website, use it at your work or any other use, as long as, please, you don't sell it and as long as you maintain my authorship.
