Project

Introduction​

Projects are the fundamental and atomic units of organization in Noteey. Unlike other visual note-taking apps, a project in Noteey can consist of one or multiple boards, making it a comprehensive visual knowledge base. This guide provides an overview of the project interface and its various features.

Project Interface Layout​

1. Left Sidebar​

The left sidebar displays all the boards within a project. Additionally, it includes:

  • Frame List: Click a frame to navigate directly to it.
  • Card List: Click a card to jump to the corresponding card on the canvas. These features make it easy to navigate and manage content within a project.

2. Toolbar​

The toolbar provides a complete set of whiteboard tools:

  • Selection & Pan Mode: Switch between selection and pan modes.
  • Text: Add text with customizable color, font size, and formatting.
  • Images: Add local images, paste images, or insert images via URL.
  • Shapes: Insert various common shapes.
  • Arrows: Link different shapes or cards with arrows.
  • Drawing: Use a pen tool with customizable color and thickness, including highlighter options.
  • Embedding Webpages: Embed common web content such as Twitter posts, YouTube videos, or web pages, which can be browsed directly on the canvas.
  • Frames: Frames allow visual grouping of elements such as cards, images, PDFs, and videos. All content within a frame moves together as a unit. Frames support color customization and aspect ratio adjustments.
  • Mind Maps: A powerful feature enabling easy node creation, image insertion, and linking to cards, videos, highlights, and other content.
  • Sticky Notes: Modify color and size. Unlike cards, sticky notes are stored within the current project rather than in the library. They are ideal for fleeting notes and can be converted into cards with one click.
