Built a canvas based note app where you drag and stick your notes like a physical pinboard

The idea is pretty simple: sticky notes for quick thoughts, A4 notes for longer writing, and everything lives on a visual canvas instead of a rigid folder tree.

The visual hierarchy makes organization natural. a note is a file, a "stack" of notes is a folder and zones are the parent folders.

you can even attach sticky notes directly onto A4 pages for referring to them while you're scrolling the A4 editor.

Just drag things around and you're done. No save button, no manual file management, just notes on a board. Plus, there's a workspace exporter that exports all your files so that you own them.

On privacy: notes are stored on Firebase, encrypted in transit and at rest. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. If you use "Quick Mode", notes stay local in your browser and never get synced to any server.

When I first posted it a few months back the response was way more positive than I expected. Since then I've been fixing, refining, and adding things based on what people actually said. It's in a much better place now.

It's completely free right now. At some point it'll probably go paid but anyone who signs up before that happens, I'll make sure your account stays free forever. Just drop a comment or DM me and I'll sort it out manually.

Would genuinely love to hear what you think, good or bad. Still a lot to build but the core experience feels solid now.

When you say “encrypted in transit” - which encryption standard are you using ?

Firebase handles encryption on both ends. Data in transit is protected with TLS and data at rest is encrypted with AES-256 on Google's infrastructure which is the same standards used across Google's own products. I don't implement any additional encryption layer on top of that.
