Menu bar quick access.

Should we include an always on option? We could provide quick access to a scratchpad similar to Write:

Or just quick access to your notes! You could keep a todo list up there or store some code snippets.

Additionally there could be a global hotkey to open the full editor.

Fourthed.

I'll design that view as well, and be thinking about a taskbar icon.

Well I was working on a proof of concept and I ran into some issues.

With node-webkit currently (on Mac) our only option with tray icons is to show a basic menu when you click it. Sooo, we can show like, a list of recent notes for quick access and we could have a scratchpad option? But we wouldn't be able to show the scratchpad immediately on click. Kind of a bummer!

Second issue is there isn't a way to get the x/y of the tray menu, so if we do have a scratchpad option we'd just have to show it somewhere generic like the top right corner.

Anyway is it still worth doing? Any other creative ideas?

That might not be an awful idea. Would it at least display it over anything else that's open?

[octalmage]

Yes it would!

Idk I'm just bummed we can do it like I had planned. 😢

So the current plan is to show a list of your checkboxes in the tray. This way you'll have quick access to what needs to be done!
