Sticky Notes Plugin

A simple plugin that builds on top of the existing popout functionality of obsidian. By adding a new popout window that resembles sticky notes. They have a much cleaner look, a pin functionality and color options.

You can open a sticky note window using the ribbon action, command, or context menus.

Possible Issues & Limitations.

• The plugin relies on @electorn/remote to work, as the pin functionality and resizing require access to the node/main process apis. This is not the recommended approach, but the only one that worked with me after some research.

• The plugin relies on customizing certain obsidian elements (like the titlebar) and relies on their classes, there is no guarentee that this will continue working in future releases of obsidian (if they ever decided to rename their classes for example).
