Sticky is a visual sticky-note application for capturing ideas, planning, and collaborating on shared boards. It provides a simple board interface where users create, arrange, and customize notes and work together in real time.

Key Features

  • Create, edit, colorize, and resize digital sticky notes on a free-form board
  • Real-time collaboration and synchronization across devices using a hosted backend
  • Drag-and-drop interface for arranging notes, with intuitive board interactions
  • Account-based access and user authentication integrated via an external identity provider
  • Cloud sync and analytics integration options for persistent boards and usage tracking
  • Built with a TypeScript frontend and modern tooling for easy customization and local builds

Use Cases

  • Brainstorming sessions and idea capture for individuals or teams
  • Lightweight project planning, task organization, and visual to-do boards
  • Remote collaboration for workshops, retrospectives, and creative planning

Limitations and Considerations

  • Default deployment relies on third-party hosted services for backend and authentication, which may require accounts or paid plans for production use
  • Limited built-in features for file attachments, rich text formatting, or offline-first operation
  • Scaling and usage costs depend on the chosen backend provider and plan

Sticky is a focused, lightweight board for quick idea capture and team collaboration. It is suitable for small teams and individuals who want an intuitive visual workspace and are comfortable configuring external backend and auth services for production use.
