Sticky
Sticky is a note-taking app for the Linux desktop, that simulates traditional "sticky note" style stationary on your desktop. Some of it's features include basic text formatting (bold, italics, etc), spell-checking, a tray icon for controlling note visibility, manual and automatic backups, and a manager to organize your notes into groups. Sticky is written in Python, and uses the GTK3 toolkit
How to build and install
Download the source code and enter the source directory
# Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/collinss/sticky.git
# Enter the folder:
cd sticky
Mint, Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives:
# Try to build. If this fails, it's probably due to missing dependencies.
# Take note of these packages, install them using apt-get:
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
# Once that succeeds, install:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i sticky*.deb
# If this fails, make note of missing runtime dependencies (check list below),
# install them, repeat previous command (apt-get install -f may also work).
Otherwise (and this is valid anywhere if you want to avoid packaging):
sudo cp -r usr/ /usr/
sudo cp etc/xdg/autostart/sticky.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
