I want to make a desktop gadget like the Sticky notes that we have but just with some additional functionality.
Now that the gadgets have been discontinued in windows, i am not sure about what technology to use to create this app.
I want to create a custom UI like just a Add button on the side of the desktop and clicking on it would create notes.
I was trying to use node-webkit but seems that will appear like a web page and not what I want. Can anyone tell me what should i use to achieve the result.
A Node Webkit window doesn't have to look like a webpage. You can use a frameless window and then design the UI to look however you want with HTML and CSS.

In the new Microsoft Flight Simulator you can pop different cockpit displays out into their own external windows, like this:
However, none of the buttons needed to interact with the displays get "popped out" as well.
I'd like to build a web app that can embed (the continuously updating image of) one of these windows that I can surround with buttons, etc, for interaction to have, say, running on a tablet next to you.
My question is, is it possible with Node to embed the continuously updating image of a native Windows window within a webpage?

I have been finding it difficult to display a pdf on flutter windows and other desktop applications. Can someone help me out
This is the same as this question, but for Windows, so the answer is the same at a high level. As with Linux, PlatformView is not yet supported for Windows.
Two options that could work without PlatformView support:
Swap the window between displaying the Flutter view and a PDF view (if you want the PDF to fill the window while displayed).
Place the Flutter view and the PDF view side by side in the window (if you want both Flutter content and PDF content visible at the same time).
Both would require the work to be done in the native code, so you would need to either write a plugin, or implement it directly in your runner, and use a method channel to coordinate between Dart and native code.

I am writing a project using polymer. Right now, if a browser doesn't support it most of the page is just blank. Is there a way to quickly if the users browser supports polymer and if not, prompt them to use a modern browser?
You can use the page http://caniuse.com/ and ask for the technology that is being used in the framework you want to implement, Shadow dom and Custom elements in this case I think that are the main things that polymer uses and that don't allow this framework to be used all over the place in any browser
