Manage your quick notes at the top bar with vacanote, a GNOME Shell extension.

Overview

Vacanote (bakanəʊt) is a GNOME Shell extension for organizing your notes by dashboard/category, having them all at the top bar for quick search. It grows downwards to fill your screen: get maximum visibility without being invasive.

Usage

• Start editing by clicking either a note or your dashboard's title.
• ESC to close the applet.

Installation

Get vacanote with Git:

git clone https://github.com/luvejo/vacanote.git

Or Download as ZIP.

To make the extension readable for the GNOME Shell, you need to move it to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
mv vacanote/src ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/vacanote@luvejo.github.io

Unless you're planning to contribute, you can get rid of this:

rm -rf vacanote

Time to enable it:

gnome-shell-extension-tool --enable-extension=vacanote@luvejo.github.io

You may need to login again.

Enjoy!

Debugging

In /path/to/extension/config/settings.js set the DEBUG flag to true. Find the debugging messages at:
