VSDinside Stream Deck Plugin: "Utility Notes" – Memo Pad & To-Do Tracker
This indicates that the so-called “Useful Notes” is not the built-in Windows Sticky Notes or any third-party desktop note-taking software. Instead, it is a dedicated plugin developed specifically for VSDinside Stream Deck, named “Useful Notes”, featuring two core functionalities:
- Memo Note: For quickly jotting down temporary ideas, reminders, or notes.
- Record to-dos: For creating and managing to-do lists.
This plugin is implemented via VSDinside Stream Deck’s plugin framework (typically based on Node.js or C#) and allows direct text display or interactive interfaces on Stream Deck buttons.
