Very good plugin, I can use it to create notes in the dashboard to remind myself
of the minor flaws that I want to improve on the website and can quickly continue
to take care of the big tasks. Sehr gutes Plugin, ich kann mir damit Notizen im 
Dashboard anlegen um mich an die kleineren Mängel zu erinnern die ich an der Website
noch verbessern möchte und kann mich so schnell weiter um die großen Aufgaben kümmern.
