Corkboard Sticky Note Website

After seeing some other cool websites1 that mimic real world objects like paper, I wanted to make my own. In this experiment, everything can be dragged around and the sticky notes can be written in. As a fun bonus, the tacks which hold the notes and the paper in place can be popped off by clicking.

Play with the interactive demo

I used Vanilla JavaScript with modules to create this demo. Rollup was used to cram all the modules into one JS file. I used a bit of SCSS for the styling, but I could have stuck with regular CSS as most of the decoration is done with JavaScript or images.


  1. Some of those cool sites I found inspiration from include: Neil Young Archives, hatshoe (I still don’t understand what that site was meant to be but it’s cool), and handwritten.blog ↩︎
