When moving a large object, the hover appeared on a different object instead of the page beneath the cursor.

On a real board, verify that free page-color selection, color objects, and page-entry hover while moving large objects behave as intended.

As notes increased, an entry point for finding them through words became necessary. The first version stops at opening the note; centering the matching location…

While logged in, test ⌘K search and confirm that personal notes appear and can be opened from the results.

Because the blue handle gets in the way when it overlaps the text being entered.

Deploy this to production and verify that the blue connection handle stays hidden while typing and that the publication toggle behaves correctly.

The OGP image pointed to localhost and could not be retrieved externally. I decided that only published notes should appear in search, while everything else sho…

Deploy the changes to production and check the publication toggle and search preview once.

Page names can now be edited in the center of the card without overlapping the original text, and pasted content is no longer placed on the board while editing …

Because duplicated display or unintended pasting during editing interrupts the interaction.

Test editing a page name and pasting into a URL field on a real board.

When renaming a page, does having the input field in the center of the card feel natural?

Prioritized fixing friction found through use, including URL editing and pasting, alignment in columns, and placing items inside pages.

Because avoiding confusion after placement currently matters more than adding features.

On a real board, test placing an item over a page to move it inside, and verify how links and columns are edited.

If you hold a card over a page for a moment and release it, is it clear that the card will move inside the page?

Added “place, arrange, and connect” interactions on the board, plus navigation and note creation on smartphones.

Because I wanted to move beyond merely tracing items and support arranging collected material and relating it.

Use links, columns, connections, smartphone swipe navigation, and note creation directly, and look for anything that feels awkward.

Would you want to use an interaction that organizes notes and links vertically?

Stopped relying on the note list and New controls in the header, and changed navigation toward pages on the canvas and breadcrumbs.

Because following pages from HOME felt less confusing than opening them from a menu.

In production, test the entire flow: HOME → create page → open → return through breadcrumbs.

Does navigating through pages from HOME feel intuitive?

Decided to change note URLs opened from the cloud list to the ID-based format /note/<id>.

Because reliably reopening saved content is a fundamental part of the note-taking experience.

Open a note from the list using real data and verify that saved text and positioned elements return to the Canvas.
