For years, I've struggled to organize my thoughts for creative projects (i've got such bad ADHD). I'd have ideas scattered across notebooks, various text files, and a mess of browser tabs. The big whiteboard tools felt too complex for my needs, and simple note apps weren't visual enough.
That’s why I built EverCanvas. It's a simple, web-based tool that gives you an infinite canvas (you can have many canvases) to brainstorm and connect ideas. My goal was to create something that gets out of your way and just lets you think visually.
You can create notes, link them together, drop in images, and group related concepts. It’s designed to be fast and minimalist.
It's also free for normal users and there is a monthly fee for power users which I assume most people aren't! There is no credit card required, so i'd love if you could give it a go and give me feedback.
Please note, I built this myself and am not a team so it's still pretty early and needs a little polish!

Thank you all so much!!
