Inspiration -

• Windows default sticky notes, Knotable, Trello

What it does -

• No signin/signup, just create/remember the unique board name.
• Access it from anywhere, directly with board name.
• sticky.meteor.com/yourUniqueBoardNameHere
• Move notes anywhere in the whole screen in real time. complete screen is droppable area.
• Unsecure but highly secure if board name is smart and longer :)
• Some restrictions applied(No more than 10 notes on home page & no more than 50 notes on board for now)

How I built it -

• By writing in coffeeScript without any coffee or caffeine :)
• Host OS - windows 8.1
• Guest OS - Xubuntu on vBox
• Text editor - Sublime Text 3
• And Google Chrome

Challenges I ran into -

• Finding idea was a biggest challenge.

• Content editable div issue on meteor.
• Poor internet, so deploying was slow :)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of -

• Writing this markup at 5:05 AM.

What I learned -

• Don't spent time in setting up the app from scratch, create a meteor boilerplate and get ready with it next time.
