@Matteo, The whole idea started with a desire to do a digital diary for my new-born daughter. I don’t think the current UI is girly, but I see no problem if that’s the case :-) More seriously: don’t pay too much attention to the current graphic design because this is simply something I made up myself – and I’m not a designer. I hope some real designers will jump in soon to help me on this front.

As for the integration with other apps (Tomboy, Tasque, Evo, etc), those are things that I honestly haven’t thought out yet. For instance, my initial impression is that people will not want to use both Tomboy and The Board for note taking. They would choose one or the other – Tomboy will probably always be a more advanced note taking app than The Board. But I might be proven wrong. Let’s see.

Anyway, I’m focusing on getting a solid core in place to then move on to integration with other apps and other important features.

Nice to see such good thing in Gnome. Going to install Linux back to my laptop :)

Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree with einalex.
The Board has great potential, but it needs some improvements.
At the moment it looks to me like a 13 year old girl’s diary, but if:

- the notes I create on the board would be Tomboy/… notes
- the todo lists I create on the board would be Tasque/Evolution/RTM/.. lists
- the date/appointment notes I create would be GCalendar/Evolution/… dates

- every page would represent one day
- there would be a page (calendar) browser and the possibility to search through notes, todos and calendars…

…well, that 13 yo girl’s diary would become the perfect transposition of a real agenda.
