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.
