Description

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 foldersWould love to continue working on this app if you guys like the concept.

Could you build this?

Yes A visual canvas-based note-taking app using an HTML canvas or React flow library with local storage or standard backend sync is directly feasible with AI code generation.
