Basically I wanted sticky notes for web pages. I'm sure there are already apps out there, but lots of things I've tried are just too complex. Evernote, love the idea, just don't use it. Here's where Google App Engine comes in. It's an easy free way to get an app up and going in a few hours. I made a little app that allows note storage via url (so you'll see them again on the page) via a bookmarklet. I'm using Google App Engine in a prototyping manner, I'm not sure how this code would scale, but with the mighty power of Google behind it I know there's plenty here for requests. Google App Engine, Python at least, is like Django-Lite. And this isn't bad for how I'm using it. There are peculiarities, like not being able to have None/Null on a db LinkProperty (resulting in using the StringProperty in a model where you don't require the value). But if you're Django familiar, and Python proficient, getting something up and going is incredibly easy, all told this took about 4 hours. Development is a snap, deployment too, and appspot.com has a decent number of management tools for traffic and db. Use Knotesy now ».
