CintaNotes 1.6, 10 April 2012, goes "Freemium" (pay for extra features)
Steven Avery:
Hi,
The last week, I have been comparing various notes and sticky programs, Ubernote, Internote, WebNote, QuotePad (CintaNotes copycat), NoteZilla, Stickies, with the idea of being more net oriented where sensible (e.g. Ubernote so far beats Zoho and Springnote on ease of use and comfortable and quick editing, even if weaker in page overviews).
CintaNotes looked very good in some ways, except that it was in between everything. If I remember it did not have a sticky aspect AND it did not have an RTF editing aspect. (Just colors for a note, stuff like that.) Also, it did not have an elegant notebook (perhaps explorer-style) page system, as mentioned above, more like a heap.
It is very possible that I am missing something in these lacks. I'd like to have a good reason to give it a go, so please let me know where it shines, and what I am missing above.
Incidentally, on web-page stickies, Internotes is winning, despite its primitive editing. It is smart about domains, while Stickies and NoteZilla are dumbos, working with the Windows function for open windows (fergot the name offhand). However they are very good for desktop and attaching to a program, just not a web-page.
Thanks.
Steven

Phew! Looks like you've tested them all! 8)
Personally, i really liked NoteZilla and was willing to keep on payin' for upgrades but they've been idle for quite some time now.
Ubernote is fast like the name says but it too has been sitting idle for quite some time too. Don't want to invest in that now do we?
There's EssentialPIM that offers a "stickies" kind of option but my overall feel for the program is lukewarm.
I like CintaNotes for its simplicity, ease to configure, small footprint, good support and promising future.

I use notesholder and am pretty happy with it after testing quite a few.
Steven Avery:
Hi,
On Notesholder, the tabbed categories looks very nice, but I do not not see any attachment to specific Windows, like your utility program opened. That is a big part of my sticky use, potentially, to keep an ongoing note for each program. When it opens, the note comes up and says hi.

^ Ah. I don't use that functionality, so I didn't even think of that use. I don't believe it does that, though I'm not sure.
