Stikkit

Stikkit.com seems like a cool way to save notes, random thoughts, lists, todos and calendar items.

I made up a note about what I liked and didn't like about it here: stikkit

Update:

Since apparently you can't have public notes on stikkit, here is the content of what I wrote:

Cool things about stikkit

  • wiki-like
  • uses Markdown
  • tries to be smart about categorizing notes automatically
  • easy web/2.0 interface
  • has email interface for adding notes
  • rss feed for calendar items
  • sharing, history, and commenting

Not cool things about stikkit


  • Not fully wiki-ish - e.g. it's annoying to link to another note
  • no rich-text editing interface
  • handling of Markdown isn't 100% correct - e.g. multi-level lists, and links in lists don't work
  • No non-email stikkit one-liner to add a note (e.g. the Google calendar quick add firefox plugin, or a way to do a firefox keyword bookmark)
  • doesn't integrate with google calendar/ical

Hi Greg,

Thanks so much for your post. Right now, Stikkit only creates private notes -- that is, you can share notes with anyone individually, but you can't link to them publicly (hence the "wrong turn" message at the other end of the link).

We'd love to hear your thoughts, though. Our beta is teaching us so much about what people want and don't want -- anything you can tell us would be helpful. Thanks again.
