dsh-sticky-notes: Instant Sticky Notes Plugin for DeepSeek Harness

Introduction¶

When developing with DeepSeek Harness or performing routine operations, it is often necessary to temporarily record ideas, to-do items, or sensitive information. The dsh-sticky-notes plugin integrates sticky-note functionality directly into the client interface, providing zero-latency local note management and avoiding frequent context switching.

Plugin Positioning¶

This plugin is maintained by zmm863-commits and is a client plugin designed to provide a fast, real-time note-taking service. It uses local optimistic updates to ensure operations have no perceptible latency, and it supports persistent data storage.

Core Features¶

The plugin provides the following core capabilities:

• Color Tags and Categories
  • 🔴 Red (Urgent): For tasks and notifications. After adding, a time picker automatically pops up to set a reminder.
  • 🔵 Blue (Regular): For daily reminders; saved immediately.
  • 🟡 Yellow (Important): For important content. After adding, a password setup dialog automatically pops up.
• Scheduled Reminders: Set a future time. When triggered, it displays a bell animation and plays a beep.
• Sticky Note Pinning: Supports pinning important notes to keep them visible.
• Two-Layer Password Protection
  • Vault Password: When entering Settings → 📝 Paopao Cat’s Instant Sticky Notes to view all notes, a three-digit PIN code must be entered (stored in browser localStorage).
  • Per-Note Password: Yellow notes have independent three-digit passwords. The content is hidden until unlocked.
• Interaction Experience: The note window supports dragging. After closing and reopening it, its position remains unchanged.

Installation and Activation¶

Install the plugin using the official command:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-sticky-notes

After installation, refresh the browser page to apply it. There is no need to restart the DSH process.

Usage¶

1. Click the 📝 button on the left side of the dialog toolbar.
2. The note window pops up. Enter content, then press Enter or click “Add”.
3. Select a color:
   • Red: A time picker automatically pops up to set a reminder.

Technical Architecture¶

• Host Side: Provides the HTTP API /api/paopaocat-notes (registered through webServer.register). Data is persistently stored in /dsh/paopaocat-notes.json.
• Client Side: Uses React components in the __ModuleLoader__ format. The UI is registered into the main interface via slots.inject.
• Compatibility: Supports both Web and Desktop versions of DSH.
• Permissions: Requires the browser:local-storage and ui:inject permissions.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes¶

• Applicable Scenarios: Suitable for users who need to capture to-do items, temporary memos, or store password-protected information (such as API key drafts) at any time.
• Note: The plugin runs with the permissions of the current DSH process. Before installing, it is recommended to review the source code and the license (MIT) to confirm security.
