About StikiNiki
StikiNiki is an idea I had after playing with Tomboy for many months and wishing I could use something similar on my mac, then I thought it'd be really cool if I could publish individual notes to my website. Then thought it would be great to actually share my notes with other people and use it

StikiNiki is not Wiki

StikiNiki is a decentralized/distributed Wiki-like note taking application (or rather an idea for one.)

• It is not inherently community-oriented, although a user may publish (read-only), or share (read-write) notes/pages with other users specifically, globally, or on a group basis.


• It is not web-centric. It will have multiple platform-integrated clients, as well as a browser-based UI.


• It will not reside on a centralized server. Notes may be synced to other clients (q2q anyone?))

Other ideas

• sxip enabled - if stikiniki is to be easily deployed on personal servers regular users you want to comment or edit should not have to register with your personal installation, nor should your resources be wasted by storing their information


• the "web server" is a fancy stikiniki client.


• Hierarchial which most other wiki's aren't.

Problems

• Programming is hard.


• If the clients are to sync with eachother without the aid of a centralized server I have to deal with nat traversal


• Some people store secret stuff on sticky notes (if you didn't figure out the name already this is a clue) if they want to store secret stuff on stikinikinotes they need to be able to turn off distribution or encrypt the notes (i'd be happy with using GPG but i'm sure other people would bitch about that)


• I don't know jack about sxip (but i know someone who does)


Anyway that's my idea, love it, hate it, it's mine, so nya nya nya nya.

Also this is one of those projects spawned almost entirely by thinking of a funny name first, then a use to fit it.
