Build a Desktop Sticky Notes App

Level: Real World

Your task for today is to create a desktop sticky notes application using PySide6 that lets users create, edit, and delete colorful notes on their screen.

Project Task

Create a desktop sticky notes app that:

• Uses PySide6 to create a GUI application

• Displays a main window with a button to create new notes

• Creates draggable sticky note windows when the user clicks “New Note”

• Allows users to type and edit text in each note

• Lets users change the note color (yellow, pink, green, blue)

• Includes a delete button on each note to remove it

• Each note appears as a separate floating window

This project gives you hands-on practice with GUI development, window management, and event handling — essential skills for building desktop applications.

Expected Output

The app has a “Create New Note” button. When the user presses the button and types the text, big-text sticky notes are created and they can be dragged around in desktop. Fun and useful! Here is what our solution produces:
