Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Sticky notes board for your terminal. Works with mouse or keyboard-only. Move, resize both sticky notes and the “board” they’re stuck to. Control over the border and background colors. Notes are saved across sessions and stored in a local JSON file. Open source.

Tradeoffs

No static binary - installed via pip/Python. Main body entry text field doesn’t expand, which makes editing a bit awkward.
