CLUSTER INFINITE-CANVAS-HANDWRITING · 23 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-03-24

Infinite canvas handwriting notes

The cluster consists of handwriting note-taking apps built around an infinite canvas, used for notes, sketching, PDF annotation, and study tools. Seven dated entries appear between March 2012 and March 2025, scattered without a clear acceleration pattern. Among members with activity signals, 'infinite-notes' leads with 1 star, while the other two have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
