Gina is a simple program providing virtual sticky–notes for your desktop.

In fact it is just a clone of Nina (actually known as Rhinote), a Python/Tk script which does exactly the same things.

So why did I bother writing a clone of a perfectly working and free program? The answer is: to learn. I've been trying to learn GTK for a long time now, but I never succeeded because I had no software to work on. Now I have one.

Please note that Gina is still in its early stage of development. Don't expect it to be stable or accurate or whatever.

Features

Gina is 90% compatible with Nina 0.6.6 – the only feature missing is the ability to print notes, but I'm not going to add this feature until I find a clean way to code it.

You can add text to a note, save it as a text file, and load it from file later. You can open virtually as many notes as you want.

Downloads

You can download Gina as a source tarball. Version number for current is 0.9.1.

You'll find some minimal building instructions inside the tarball.
