Needs localStorage.

… but still retain server based storage … and resolving my offline updates with the server … even the provably incompatible ones We are users! We want everything! Especially the impossible. And keep it free.

This could be awesome, if done transparently. The greatest appeal of this application is it's straight-up simplicity: you click, start typing and your notes are stored. Feature bloat would really detract from this experience.

It would be nice to be able to zoom in and out to see more or less at a time. In general, this concept lands itself well for Google maps API where you model your board as a map and it handles scrolling and zooming for you. Edit: something similar to this http://www.conwaylife.com/

The zoom in my browser seems to work fine.

That's cool, didn't even think of that.

Looks really good. One small refinement: deleted notes could appear on a list in the corner say - maybe with a screwed up motif - so I can recover something I delete by accident :-)

You could even build in a wastebasket paper toss game :)

Great simple app.

for me (ffox 3.5.15 on mac) it zooms the text but not the images, I would expect it to shrink/expand the images as well so you could see more at once.

Doesn't work with some character sets. I just entered: これは、いくつかの日本です Then went away and came back, and all the characters had turned to question marks.

That's strange, Japanese input worked for me. (Chrome / Japanese Win7)

Maybe they fixed it?
