Webnote - Hints

You can enter HTML into a note. This means you can create a hyperlink or embed an image. You can also use javascript event handlers.

Everytime you press the save button, a snapshot of all your notes are saved. You can load any snapshot by clicking on the circular arrow button.

You can quickly change the color of a note by pressing a number from 1 to 8 while your mouse is hovering over a note.

You can move a note to the front by clicking on the mini-note.

You can move all notes of the same color to the front by holding ctrl and clicking on a mini note.

You can filter by color by typing "color:yellow" into the filter box. Alternately, you can shift+click on a mini note to filter by color

You can resize a note by holding alt and using the left mouse button.

You can move all notes of the same color by holding ctrl while dragging. (This doesn't work in OS X because the ctrl key brings up the right click menu.)

To select text, try holding ctrl+alt while dragging. Holding the windows key may also work if you use Firefox/Mozilla.

The filter box in the upper right corner takes regular expressions, not words to search for.
