Hi,
What do people think of the little "Tip of the Day" windows that
are in some software? Are they helpful? Annoying?
My two cents.
I think they are pretty useless and annoying, as randomly suggesting
something doesn't add any help to the total beginner ("did you know you
can type ctrl+1 to create a new object?"... well thank you but I'd
really like to know how to make those cool sounds in pd like the videos
I saw on youtube!)
But I guess it's a matter of personal taste.
Maybe, though, some of those "tips" could go in some sort of Pd quick
tutorial or cookbook... but searchable and well indexed?

Either way, I made one in Pd.
Seems like this could be useful to beginners. And at the moment
they're no longer useful one can just turn them off. (Or they could
be turned off by default and live in the help window.)
A prototype is attached. [hcs/folder_list] and [ggee/button] are the externals
used.
