What alternatives for sticky notes are available?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I like the Sticky Notes very much, they are always on the desktop.
But I can't find it in Ubuntu since 12.04. Other programs like gnotes & Xjournal are not giving a feature to stay on the desktop.
So, is there any application similar to the old sticky notes in Ubuntu?

Good news: you can have Sticky Notes in Ubuntu.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes
If you'd also like to try an alternative, I can suggest XPad as well, which should be in the official repositories.

As a note for people coming in the future (speaking as someone who's used both of these) - stickynotes seems to have an issue where it keeps launching duplicate instances of itself and pollutes my system tray (among other annoyances) - xpad seems to just "work better".

Yep, sticky notes doesn't work with alt+tab. The moment you click on different window, it disappears. IMO, DO NOT INSTALL. Just 2 min ago installed xpad, works with Alt+Tab, allows visibility in all workspaces, maximizes, etc. Simple, works.

It worked great in the past, but in a few recent years it became riddled with bugs (e.g. it doesn't remember last open notes and opens them all every time it's launched, it also crashes when I close the last note (or use "close all")). @PratikButani the notes are stored in ~/.config/xpad

Not really a Ubuntu thing, but have found the Sticky Notes Chrome app really useful, specially because I have different workplaces and they sync through Google drive. It also offers formatting options, which lacks in some Linux options. Here's the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sticky-notes/nbjdhgkkhefpifbifjiflpaajchdkhpg/related?hl=en

Beware - I lost all my notes with this app! One day they disappeared and I never got them back :( I still have xml files in my drive but the app does not see them so I'm screwed. OT: does anyone know of a good xml parser to extract my notes from this pickle?

Thought I'd throw my programme in for good measure: Gnut
I got a bit fed up with xnote and wrote a JavaFX-based sticky notes programme called Gnut some years back. It's pretty basic but has served my colleagues and I well. I've just added copy paste and put a more easy-to-install release up on GitLab

Not really a Ubuntu thing, but have found the Sticky Notes Chrome app really useful, specially because I have different workplaces and they sync through Google drive. It also offers formatting options, which lacks in some Linux options. Here's the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sticky-notes/nbjdhgkkhefpifbifjiflpaajchdkhpg/related?hl=en

Beware - I lost all my notes with this app! One day they disappeared and I never got them back :( I still have xml files in my drive but the app does not see them so I'm screwed. OT: does anyone know of a good xml parser to extract my notes from this pickle?

Thought I'd throw my programme in for good measure: Gnut
I got a bit fed up with xnote and wrote a JavaFX-based sticky notes programme called Gnut some years back. It's pretty basic but has served my colleagues and I well. I've just added copy paste and put a more easy-to-install release up on GitLab
