Drew DeVault describes his ideal digital note-taking application that doesn't yet exist. He envisions an infinite grid canvas where users can place pages, flowcharts, tables, images, and freehand drawings. Key features would include multi-input support (mouse, trackpad, touch, drawing tablet), real-time performance during zoom/pan, PDF/SVG export, optional real-time collaboration, and free software licensing for Linux. He estimates he'd pay up to $1000 one-time or $100/month for such a tool, and shares the concept hoping to inspire a development team to build it.
