Get a version from a 2016 server then it wont be a uwp app
d
Hmmm... I'll have to look up how to do that. What's the support on that?
r
Im sure its not supported but it works. It is just sticky notes
t
Have previously deployed PeperNote as a replacement for the Microsoft StickyNote Store App (https://github.com/jpmikkers/PeperNote).
d
Cool - any issues on ServerOS? Only thing I can see as potential issue is storing data in %localappdata% but that's what redirections.xml is for, right ;-)
t
We deployed on Win10 - but see no reason why the user data can't be redirected appropriately, if required.
It's a pretty basic app - but does the job.
d
Thanks- I'll get this in the lab and see how it goes.
m
why would you not just use notes in outlook and have them stored in exchange/office365?
d
Yeah, proposed exactly that and was rejected. Same with OneNote.
m

The non store version still works, but having that stuff live in your profile instead of a central share is not great, but like you said you could redirect it. It still amazes me how many companies perform business critical operations in Sticky Notes.
I think there was a version that put them in OneDrive if they are using that
at least then they get backed up
d
That would be ideal - given how profile-reset-happy this client tends to be, I can smell issues, lol
m
sticky note v3 or later puts them in with your outlook data in O365, so I guess you could use that app without Outlook as it’s the same thing now?
but yeah, that’s the store version
and would rely on the user having a mailbox
d
I was trying to do that and couldn't get it going without Windows Store. Or maybe I was looking for the wrong thing. Fortunately, they all do in this case - but I need to validate that they are on O365. Pretty sure but...
m
I wonder if Winget will install it for you without the store
Copy code
winget install --id=9NBLGGH4QGHW
d
worth trying!
m
you can get winget from github if it’s not on there
f
I'm interested if you managed to install this application
d
Just last night I started to see bugs in the open source sticky notes, unfortunately. It's .net so the usual vague messages. Haven't tried the Winget thing yet - still waiting on the goahead from the client on testing that one
