Hi,

Unfortunately, that would take a lot of work. NotePost is written with cross-platform web technologies and isn't a 100% native Android application. Someone would have to write the widget and also write code to make it work with the actual app.

It looks like it would be a lot easier to add shortcuts for notes (these things), which I might do at some point when I'm not busy with other projects.

In short, it's already pretty quick to tap the app icon, tap the edit button, and start typing. Adding widgets would be a lot of work for a low reward. And personally, my home screen is already full, and for my own use is the main reason I decided to build a note app in the first place!

It is a good suggestion though; if someone else wants to do it I'll consider merging it in.
