I've been looking for an infinite canvas program to help with note-taking for college, as paper gets all messy for me, but things like Math and Chem really need to be able to draw. This has ended up as the best option for me with infinite canvas to go all around and control simply, with easy typing for when you need to get one big thing in along with the quick jotting. the only slightly annoying things for me (in my limited experience is there appears to be infinite zoom out, but not infinite zoom in with slightly inconsistent size, but it's not that big of a deal. similar with my other complaint of the annoying propriatary file format, but it can export as SVG so it isn't that big of a deal, just couldn't open other formats.
