Qiknotes

A quick foray into Svelte and Electron

Svelte is one of the most exciting web libraries to come out of recent years;

it's compile-down and shadow-DOM-less - and after working my way around

with Vue and React over the years, both sound great.

I wanted to make something semi-useful, something I could use for a bit.

Electron has interested me (which, if we are talking about bloat, is quite the

opposite of Svelte.) - so I made Qiknotes; a super simple note-taker (todo-maker?)

that could be accessed from the toolbar of your Mac.

I found it useful, and I think something like this with more keyboard accessibility would

be rather great. This concept later influenced Pippets.

Below is a screenshot along with the Github link for the source-code and MacOS app.
