Visual Infinite Canvas for Notes, Projects and Tasks

I would love to see a visual, infinite canvas integrated directly into ByDesign.

The idea is to have a flexible workspace where I can freely arrange and connect notes, tasks, projects, ideas, documents and other ByDesign objects visually.

Ideally, the canvas would support:

  • An infinite, zoomable workspace

  • Free positioning of cards, notes and objects

  • Connecting objects with lines/arrows

  • Nested or linked notes and sub-pages

  • Creating mind maps and visual knowledge structures

  • Converting canvas items into tasks or projects

  • Linking existing ByDesign tasks, projects and notes to the canvas

  • Drag & drop organization

  • Different visual layouts for brainstorming, planning and project management

  • Ability to attach files, images and documents

  • AI-assisted organization of the canvas, such as automatically grouping related items, creating structures and turning ideas into actionable tasks

The most important part would be that the canvas is not a separate tool, but deeply integrated with the existing ByDesign ecosystem.

For example, I would like to be able to visually map a project like:

Project → Areas → Ideas → Notes → Tasks → Subtasks → Documents

and then open any item directly in its corresponding ByDesign view.

This would make ByDesign much more powerful as a visual thinking, planning and knowledge management system, while keeping tasks, projects, calendar and notes in one place.

A flexible canvas combined with ByDesign's existing productivity features could become an extremely powerful workspace for both personal knowledge management and complex project planning.
