In my mission to both make useful tools and get the name of our dear blockchain out there, I began building something that at first glance might not look too impressive. But that's only if you only look once.
The whole thing started like this:
As an avid user of Linux Mint, sticky notes have been an integral part of my existence. Writing down a silly reminder, a quick little link, a JWT token I printed for running QA on a local backend setup. I mean, anything. Just like their real life counterparts, sticky notes can be used for almost anything you can think of.
Two months ago, I installed Omarchy, and I've been exploring a different Linux world ever since. Some days I miss Mint, but I can't say the experience hasn't been great.
After doing a quick lookup, I discovered that other people had submitted sticky note apps to Omarchy, and theirs looked impressive too. But none of them had thought of my idea: the powerful trick of leveraging a blockchain to provide both rock-solid reliability and device synchronicity.
No need for a backend, because Hive is my backend.
And so, Stickit was born.
I'm releasing it for all platforms too. Currently, it works well on Linux and Mac, but I'm going to get it happening on Windows as well, I promise. Just need to get around to installing a virtual machine or something.
The repo for the project is here:
https://github.com/menobass/stickit
Open source, as always.
Part of the magic is that I've also made a Progressive Web App to go along with it, which you can access and install on your phone here:

The Flow
Installing Stickit on your laptop or tower would be the first step. You'd set up a vault passphrase (make sure you don't use password123, please) to get started. After that, you can add your Hive posting key to the app and set up automatic syncs if you wish.
I would recommend not using your main account for this, since it would effectively be writing gibberish to the blockchain. But of course, the choice is yours. For obvious reasons, rewards are declined for all vault operations.
If you create a new account for your Stickit notes, don't forget to delegate some RCs to it, so that it doesn't run out of jet fuel before it syncs all your notes.
Then, you can head over to the PWA hosted on GitHub, install it on your phone, and now you're as flexible as the ethical preachings of a modern-day politician.
And you're done.
Why?
I'm a firm believer that if you make a tool because you need it, and I do, there's a good chance there's a group of people out there who need it too.
And since it uses Hive, I'm also, in a very soft way, promoting our blockchain along the way. The app includes links to our websites for more information, of course.
Cost?
All this can be yours for the modest price of gratitude.
If you appreciate what I do, what we do in 
Much love,
