Features of Version 2:

  • Full-featured WYSIWYG editor of notes:
    • Text styling, hyperlinks, images and tables
    • Unlimited undo/redo
    • Find and replace functions
    • Export and import of HTML files.
  • New consequent concept of Project. The projects includes notes, to-do tasks and resources.  
  • Revised concept of Task. The tasks can have an arbitrary duration (more than one day) and percent of completion (not just as "done" or "not done"). Also they can have a priority level. 
  • Event notifications can repeated automatically (e.g. on days of month or week). 
  • Projects can contains the user resources (local files or web pages) to provide an uniform area to access them. It is possible to assign an application for opening an each type of resource.
  • Project packaging for exchange of the projects between computers
  • Improved navigation through the notes: searching, bookmarks and browsing history.
  • New user interface with fancy Kunststoff look-and-feel.
  • and more...

What's next? Future design ideas:

  • Server-side module to use the jNotes as a blog software.
  • "Advisor" feature: an algorythm which will check the current status of each project and show a report about its execution, problems, tips etc.
  • "Birds-eye" view mode of projects (project flowcharts) to view a full tasks flow 
  • ...
  • ...
  • It is needed to invent a new name for product. I found that there is a Lotus Notes-related software with the same name. I am not about copyright infringement at all, I just don't like a confusion and couldn't find my project in Google...
