The Hunt for a Sticky Notes Generator

I’ve been searching for a simple way to transform spreadsheet cells into digital sticky notes that I can drag and sort. While the search for an add-on or tool that accomplishes this proved challenging, I discovered a workaround with the help of ChatGPT.

My quest began with a bunch of internet searching. This feels like one of those tools that should already exist so I was hoping to find an Excel or Google Sheets add-on that could automatically generate sticky notes in Microsoft Whiteboard or Jamboard.

Despite my efforts, I couldn’t find the perfect fit. Disappointed but undeterred, I turned to AI chat bots for assistance. I tried to work with Google’s Bard but it kept hallucinating and suggesting tools that didn’t exist.

ChatGPT couldn’t help me find exactly what I was looking for but it did provide something that comes closer to the results I am seeking.

With ChatGPT’s help, I developed an HTML form that allows me to paste lines of text and instantly transforms them into draggable sticky notes. You can give it a try for yourself.

While the HTML form is a step in the right direction, I’m aware that it’s not the perfect solution. I am still on the lookout for a seamless integration between spreadsheets and digital sticky notes within existing whiteboard software. If you have any knowledge or insights about a true text-to-whiteboard sticky note tool, I’d greatly appreciate your input.
