We are working on the next version, but due to other projects and the ambitious nature of the next version development has been slow. Please be patient as the next version will be a radical improvement of the concepts that we introduced in version 1
thanks

I tried all those sticky note applications out there but I find them not convenient enough or just too ugly. I already liked the concept of Corkboard by Ayluro, Inc. but for me it didn't work well, the performance wasn't smooth enough.
Then I tried all those dedicated todo- and notebook-applications. There are pretty nice ones among them but in most of all cases they do not fit my needs, are too feature-rich or expensive for what I am intended to do with them.
So what do I like about Qu-s?
First of all: It's so elegant! It's appearance is very simple but so well designed. It's one of those examples for a developer not just being a programmer but also a designer.
I like the ability of adding different kinds of bullets and checkboxes to my notes. I mean it sounds so unspectecular but it is not at all self-evident. You can add links and pictures and there even is a quick preview of these things when you hover your mouse over.
You can group notes or collect them in different projects and there is a fullscreen mode, meaning the desktop and all other applications disappear for full concentration on your notes.
And finally the notes appear at one shortkey and they fade to the desktop after a certain amount of time or they even disappear just waiting in the background to be fetched again. Quick and easy.
I'm sure there is potential for improvement but I have to admit that I don't miss anything right now. So I really really hope the developer keeps on the good work and keeps this little but so useful piece of software up to date for the future.

Its perfectly designed for grabbing links (web archives) as you go which you assign into notes/collections/projects you've created. Its actually a polished app with well executed features, and excellent value. I don't think there is anything really like this - and it has quickly become one of my most used programs.
Highly Recommended.

Once you get used to the interface, which isn't all that difficult, Qu's will probably end up being one of your most-used programs.
Printing and export options have good flexibility for those occasions when data needs to be transferred. Ability to switch to full-screen mode with user-selected background image provides you with focus on a project. And archiving projects helps keep the clutter down.

It's a long, long time since I saw such potential in an application.
I have a few suggestions for improvement, one of which I'll make public:
- support for System Services.
The other suggestions, I'll make privately.

if the i-beam cursor is in a text field:
- key delete to delete text
- key command-delete to delete the surrounding note.
If you click the surrounding note (beyond a text field):
- key delete to delete the selected note.
In either case, an alert appears:
!
Deleting a note
Are you sure you want to delete the selected note.
This can not be reversed
[ ] Don't show again.
{Cancel} {{OK}}
If you have opted to not have the alerts, then we should have a preference to restore the alerts. This should be an improvement suggestion to the developers.
http://www.qu-s.eu/support.html may be most appropriate.

A couple of questions I had were quickly answered by the developer.
This should be on everybody's desktop. I look forward to integration with iCal and other embellishments.
The developer should be absolutely proud of this productivity aid.
