Looking for an applet to put a 'notes-launcher/window' on the homescreen
 
Not sure how to explain this but here we go...
I take a lot of small notes, directions, instructions, you name.

I like the note taking on the N810 a lot and have been using it quite a bit.

Is there anyway to put your notes on your home screen?
Think: In the same way as your documents show if they are stored on your PC's desktop (running Windows).

I assume that things that goes onto the home screen has to be an applet - SO - is there an applet that:
- Created a window on your screen,
- Allows you to set a directory
- Lists the names of the documents in that directory on the screen on your homepage
- Allows you to scroll through those documents and click on one to launch it
- The ability to have them sorted in chronological order.

Is it even possible?
If so....this ability would be awesome for people like me that frequently look up notes and now could browse and launch them directly from an applet :)

Yeah I looked at Personal Launcher but that's not quite what I was after. I seems like Personal Launcher replaces the home screen with icons of apps/things you can launch. While that is cool what I'd really want is an applet window (looking like the RSS reader) listing the documents and running on the same home screen where I got my weather, etc.

AFAIK, there is not such an applet ... It would be nice though !

Un27Pee,
No, it's not what he asked for. I use it everyday.
Yellow note is just like a small yellow note where you can write some words on the screen, it doesnt show notefiles that you can open directly.

SilverMountain,
I know, it's a different thing but if you use notes a lot, i warmly recommand you MAEMOPAD+ , you can use it to store and class notes with text, lists, drawings with all the hierarchy you may want ... it's really my second brain !

@un27pee, thanks for the suggestion on Yellow Notes - that's actually a very neat application. It's on my main page now and I actually used it three times today and was very happy to have it there as a remember-to-do-go-to note that is constantly in your face. Thanks again.

My original 'request' still stands though as I think it would be awesome to have a direct 'window' into a note-directory from your main screen... :)

The Nokia tablet is truly an amazing device..I love how versatile it is.

I use Yellow Notes for any reminders I need. A home screen reader for Conboy or Quick Clip would be the best option I guess.

A automatic scrolling reader that you can target to a specific set of notes in either app would be very useful.

Personally I'd be happy with just a file-manager looking interface-applet pre-set to a directory where the notes are.
