Sticky notes for brainstorming on an infinite canvas

FlowBoard is AIsToHire's infinite whiteboard, and sticky notes are its fastest element. Press the note in the toolbar —or the ‘N’ key— click on the canvas, and you have a 140 × 140 px note ready to write; if you drag instead of clicking, it comes with the size you set. Double click to edit, and with a selected note, just start typing to write inside. The text supports bold, italic, and underline with markdown markers (**this**, *this*, __this__), and if it doesn't fit, the note grows taller by itself; when you manually set the size, the text reduces from 16 to 11 px so nothing gets cut off.

Color is half the method. When selecting a note, the fill palette changes to the ten inks designed for post-its —yellow, orange, pink, red, green, mint, blue, lilac, gray, and white— instead of the generic shape palette. They are enough to code by author, by block of the retrospective, or by phase of the journey map. Each note has its corner folded and its shadow, and if you select several and choose a color, it applies to all at once.

Moving and grouping is what turns a pile of notes into a conclusion. Drag a note and it snaps to the 24 px grid, with alignment guides when it lines up with its neighbors; the arrow keys nudge it 1 px, or 24 px with Shift. To work with multiple notes: drag a selection frame over the empty canvas, add notes with Shift + click or select all with Ctrl+A; on mobile, “Select multiple” lets you tap notes with a counter above. With the selection made, you can move them as a block, align them by any of the six edges and centers, distribute them evenly in horizontal or vertical, duplicate them with Ctrl+D, copy and paste their style, change their color, group them with Ctrl+G to move as a single piece, or place them in a frame with a title: the belonging to the frame is calculated by the center of each note, so when moving the frame, all go inside.

And when the board fills up, AI organizes. In the AI Assistant, the “Group” tab reads the text of all your notes (at least two written are needed), proposes thematic groups with a title for each, and creates a frame for each group below the existing content, rearranging the notes inside. It consumes tokens from your balance and, like everything on the board, can be undone with Ctrl+Z. Additionally, each note can have its thread of comments with resolution and its tags, the searcher finds and replaces text within the notes, and the result can be exported to PNG, SVG, PDF, or JSON, or shown in full screen in presentation mode. Six of the thirteen templates already come with notes: Brainstorming, Retrospective, Kanban, User journey, SWOT, and Quarterly roadmap. A board can be edited by one person at a time: there is no simultaneous editing, so group sessions are done by screen sharing and distributing, exporting, or commenting.
