Development on the CloudPad application had all but halted. It had reached the base functionality I needed for Work and other commitments meant I didn’t have the time to keep working on it.
The good news is that after playing with Silverlight on Windows Phone 7 I have decided to bring this application back to life, but in another form. Silverlight proved to be the UI technology I had been looking for to take the app forwards.
A standalone version for Windows Phone 7 will come first but then I plan a version for the browser backed with cloud storage of notes so you can get access to your notes from any location.
More news to follow…

This is a great program and this is not a complaint. It would be nice to have an alarm function if you ever decide to further upgrade.
Thanks
Good to see this is still up and running. Cloudpad had too much potential to just die. I couldn’t find a good place for a feature request (considering the sourceforge site was… messy), so here it is:
Save As, Import, Export. Preferably as txt or yml, or some other sane easily edited and decipherable format. Putting all that data in, and not knowing WHERE it is stored, or being unable to easily dump hours of notes into some sort of office program when you need them? Scary. Being able to sort search results, then dump them into a text file would be perfect.
Java would be pretty cool too, for portability, but thats probably asking a bit much. As long as I’m making a wish list, multiple panes to handle navigation and editing.
Cloud Pad already has all features I need of it, and I expect that like the jellyfish, the simple yet effective design will long stay essentially the same as it doesn’t need to evolve further …except the option to change the font size, for those of us who strain our eyes to read such small text. Thanks anyway for such a useful app – I use it every day.
Yves. I doubt I will get around to updating to allow font size changes to the original application BUT there is a work around you could try.
In the directory you installed the application you will find a file called Default.css, Make a backup of this file so you have the original copy
Default.css is the style sheet used by the application for the layout of the various displays. Feel free to play with the font sizes in this file to tweak the display as you require
Hope that helps
Thanks. It does help for viewing notes with NoteViewText, but does anything here apply to the font used while notes are being written or edited? I may have missed it with my limited understanding of css – the only other lines here seem to be on headers and tag sizes.
Unfortunatly will not help with the edit. I should have used an HTML form for the edit as well as that would have make life easier for this.
