I have been trying to find something quite basic.
I want to have a notes card on a dashboard where our family can share simple notes with eachother.
We are currently using a small whiteboard for it next to the entrance. But now I have the tablet there with a Lovelace dashboard for alarm control etc. Would be great to have a lovelace card there for notes that we can type in text in to.
Any suggestions where to look?
if you are not already using the shopping list for other things, it would be suitable for this.
Beat me to it while typing…
Search the forum for “todo list” or “checklist”.
I’ve used the markup card for notes and a todo list for my new installation.
It is a bit more work than the shopping card - but I really like the “visibility” and the option to use <ha-alert>
for status information:
Thanks I am already using the shopping list for grocery items so its not the solution.
And the markup (mark down?) card is a static content card that cannot be modified by users on their devices.
I simply want to have a <textarea> which stores the content you put in there for easy modification later.
Like a post-it or multiple post-its… Trying to resemble a whiteboard as much as possible.
Make an input text helper for each person and display that: Put it in a vertical stack with a markdown card (for a title with the person’s name) above each entity card (for each input text).
Love this solution!
How are you getting the colored backgrounds and icons? Is it card-mod?
Nevermind I found it! LOL
Hi, i am also intrested in something simple. if it would be possible to have differently named shopping lists it would be my prefered way.
i have tried remember the milk integration, but it is not simple enough.
so writing to also follow this thread aswell as give example of rtm-integration
Yaah, that! Give me a second shopping list, that I can give any name. And maybe even a third one. I will definitely have use for three of those list.
I made mi own 
You can copy the code if you like them here 
One option could be using the Markdown card. It’s pretty versatile and allows you to write down notes in a neat format. Plus, you can spice things up with emojis and stuff. Another idea is to leverage the Picture Elements card creatively. You can design a custom layout where one of the elements acts as a note section. It’s a bit of a workaround, but hey, it gets the job done!
Now, if you’re really itching for a dedicated notes solution, you might wanna check out some third-party integrations or apps. There are some neat platforms out there like Evernote, Simplenote, or even just good ol’ Google Keep. These can sync up with Home Assistant through various means like webhooks or APIs. It’s a bit more setup, but it opens up a world of possibilities!
Oh, and speaking of notes, have you ever tried using online note-taking services? They’re super handy for jotting down thoughts, reminders, or even just random doodles. Personally, I’m a fan of tossing my brain farts onto https://notesonline.com/. It’s like having a digital sticky note pad that follows you everywhere!
