Passinote - Canvas-based note taking and organizer app
Show HN: A canvas-based note taking and organizer app
Passinote reimagines digital note-taking as an infinite, flexible canvas where thoughts flow freely without rigid folders or grids. Users can drop notes anywhere, stack related ideas, and draw custom zones to create instant structure that adapts to their thinking process. With features like seamless PDF export and instant autosave, Passinote acts as a digital desk that never runs out of room or loses your place. This tool is perfect for brainstorming, organizing complex projects, or simply capturing fleeting ideas in a visual, intuitive environment.
Passinote is the desk that never runs out of room and never loses your place.

Congratulations on shipping your app! I like the design and the concept of avoiding forced hierarchy like folders etc. I think this concept is worth building on even more. For example do users really need a rigid hierarchy like post-it vs A4? What would happen if I would be able to click anywhere on the canvas and immediately write down the thought (just like in MS OneNote) and format this text after writing it down - give it a distinct background to make it that physical note feel? Personally I'd be happy as it would give more freedom. Now that experience is a bit broken - I can click anywhere on the canvas to create a post-it, but inside of it I need to click on the top row to even start writing. I hope this quick opinion will be useful/inspiring for you.

I love this! Stacking notes is the way my favorite English teacher taught us to write essays and very few apps have this functionality. And one I did find, StorySkeleton, hasn't been available for years: https://www.cultofmac.com/news/storyskeleton-an-index-card-s...
Nice work and congrats on shipping!

The UI animations are impressive; they are cute and have a nice vibe.
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.

Looks cool, but I can't sign up. I enter my email and password, and I see the error "Google sign-in isn't enabled. Turn it on in Firebase Console...". But I'm not trying to use Google sign in.

Nice work! The canvas interface looks clean and intuitive. I especially like the stacks and zones concept. Do you have plans to add a mobile app or sync across devices?
