Personal Notes Widget

Personal Notes Widget

Personal Notes Widget provides a lightweight, user-specific notes-and-tasks widget for Drupal. It enables logged-in users to quickly capture and manage personal reminders without interrupting their workflow.

A floating action button is available across the interface, opening a responsive modal where users can:

• Create short Personal Notes (up to 256 characters)
• Browse existing notes with pagination support
• Delete notes instantly with a seamless user experience

Key features

• Private per-user storage: Each user manages their own isolated to-do list
• AJAX-driven interactions: Smooth create, list, and delete operations without page reloads
• Accessible UI: Keyboard navigation, focus management, and ARIA-compliant modal behavior
• Framework independent: No Bootstrap or external UI dependencies
• Drupal best practices: Built with dependency injection, route-based controllers, and drupalSettings integration
• Lightweight and fast: Minimal footprint with optimized performance

Use cases

This module is ideal for dashboards, admin panels, and internal portals where users need a quick, personal note-taking utility without leaving the current page.
