Bijiben just arrived in Gnome Git!

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

Boom indeed! Bijiben made it in official Gnome Git yesterday (or today depending your time-zone!).

Bijiben is a simple note editor for Gnome inspired by Gnome Notes mockups and implemented by Pierre-Yves Luyten. This little app is more than amazing, it’s in my top five Gnome Apps in use! I won’t describe a thing, you can read more here about it, I just made a video for it :)

Bijiben just did Gnome better-at least for me!

Song is totally irrelevant, but piano is always nice ..Dedicated to Louise, whoever she is!

Congratulations to Pierre for his amazing work!

Installation | I am not sure if there are some distro-packages, I think not.. So you have to compile it from sources at the moment.

Get it @ http://git.gnome.org/browse/bijiben/

*hmm seems I used a wrong wp account :)

    I’d rather see someone improve Tomboy/Gnote. It’s a solid note-taking app that has such big potential for improvements…

    I would propose not asking for the title when you click on ‘New’. I would make the title on the top bar clickable so it can be directly changed from there (yes, like google docs, simpler).

      Another option is to take opening line of a note and use it as a title. Though a title will be displayed twice (top toolbar and in note text), it’s really straightforward to edit as part of text body. I’m not sure why designers wants text labels below text notes.

    Then we have: Files, Web, Contacts, Documents, Boxes, Clocks, Photos, Videos, Calculator, Chat, and now, Notes.

    …And I need just the Mail application (first world problem) :P

    Looks nice. I’m personally not a fan of TODO apps. None of them is a match for a simple text file. However, this app looks pretty much as what I’m doing now: A directory including several todo-textfiles for different topics. I like it.

      This is not TODO. This is notes app.

      I am doing the same, and I end up with many gedit tabs. Then I open a js file with gedit.. and it’s getting messy. Really nice app for my tastes. Plus I don’t need to open nautilus for looking my notes.

    Will it support handwriting via wacom tablets? would be awesome!
