Having a sort of note manager combining clipboard and windows.

Looking Glass WM had this way back in 06-07. You could flip a window over and write notes about it on the back. It's a shame it never took off, but that's what it gets for being written in Java, I guess.

Yeah there were a lot of cool ideas in that WM that were way ahead of their time. The keynote from 2006 goes over most of them. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JXv8VlpoK_g
