So I've been working on this app for a very long time now. Started off by wanting an app that separates long form notes from short form notes visually and keeps everything organized on a canvas.
The app features:
-Sticky notes for quick, small notes and A4 notes for long form documents
-A quick mode that uses local storage to quickly open the app and jot down a thought on the canvas -A PDF export option that exports your notes into 3 custom designed PDF styles
-Visual hierarchy to replicate file structure instead of a linear fashion, where your files are notes, stacks are folders and labels are names for your folders
Would love to continue working on this app if you guys like the concept.

Nice work and congrats on shipping!
However, I discovered one bug. I am Korean, and when I write a memo in Korean on a sticker and press Enter, two notepads appear. This is a very familiar bug to me.
- Is this for the long run (I know you can't know, but I'd like to hear you out) - Will it transform to a paid service? - Will I always (at least before stopping the service or putting it behind a paywall) be able to export the content to store it myself, offline, so I own the data? - Is it open source? - Will I be able to sync it myself with an external provider? - Who are you? Why should I trust you? There's no info whatsoever anywhere, not a contact, not a privacy policy, a legal note. - Is the content encrypted?
I would really like to put my work notes in a place like this, it really looks great, but right now, I can't commit to it.
That said. I love this and wish you the best of luck! Maybe sometime I'll be a user :)
That being said, I do have long term plans for this and hopefully one day can transform into a freemium product where the core app will always stay free with some paid features. But early adopters will surely have the premium version free always. So i really hope you can invest in it now.
The export content feature will never be paid and I can assure that. Note privacy is a big part for this app. I would have made it fully local if it wasnt for the cross device sync. So you will always own you data no matter if this app becomes paid.
Right now its not open source. I really want to scale this and maybe earn a living out of this one day and have big plans for it if it works out.
You're right on this one, I've added the privacy and terms on the bottom of my landing page. It was accessible through the log in page on google auth before this, but missed the landing page. my fault.
I would really ask you to reconsider using this app, Im all ears at this stage and im continuously trying to improve it according to the user. So I would love to have chat with you. You can email me at passiflorsproductions96@gmai.com
Your version reminds me of OneNote when it was new and good and not horrible. Being able to place your notes where you want them is such a radical concept.
The features you have are simple and the idea of stacking notes is really cool and don't think I've seen that done before.
Select them, then click + drag on the canvas.
Took me a minute to figure it out.
