If you want to just see the features of webnote, feel free to explore the sample workspace.

Webnote is a tool for taking notes on your computer. It allows you to quickly write something down during a meeting, class, or any other time that you have a web browser available.

You start by creating a workspace and creating notes in the workspace. You can save your workspace at any time and return to them from the same computer or any other computer. You can also share your notes with others by providing the workspace name (or url) to a friend.

I’ve had requests for changing the background color of the notes. Here is an example of how you can save custom note colors with your own workspace and have it applied automatically. If you want to apply it to your own workspace, copy the contents of the note into a new note in your own workspace and set the colors.

You could use a similar trick to set the stylesheet to something external.

I also added an icon for the site.

text selection? -

Do you find it annoying that text sometimes gets highlighted as you drag notes? I can make it so that you can’t select text, but the drawback is that, well, you can’t select text. Instead you would have to double-click to edit the note and select the text there.

Currently, one would intentionally highlight text by holding ctrl+alt (or cmd on a mac keyboard), but it’s a little strange in IE.

I don’t know, what would you prefer? The ability to select text (how it is currently) or never being able to select text?
