Description
So, I built this little thing over the past month or so now, I got tired of places for tickets, notes, and such being shoved front and center in apps.Thus I created Mininote to get away from the noise I wanted something simple to move out of the way completely when I don't need it but be there when I do need itIt contains a slew of features built right in, but the coolest is the sites own API is also the sites own public API no split seam
