About
This tool transforms your browser tab into an infinite spatial canvas for ideas. Unlike linear document editors, Sticky Notes leverages Spatial Memory - the human brain's ability to recall information based on its location in physical space (coordinates x, y). By decoupling information from a strict chronological order, you can cluster related concepts, visually prioritize tasks using color theory, and manipulate data physically.
We use Local Storage to persist your data instantly. This means your notes survive browser restarts without sending a single byte to a remote server. It is a Zero-Knowledge system; your data exists only on your device. The engine runs on a high-performance Inertia Physics model, allowing for fluid dragging and resizing that mimics real-world friction.
Formulas
Spatial Positioning Logic:
The position vector P of any note n is defined by its offset from the origin (0,0):
Pn = xnyn
Overlap & Z-Index Stacking:
When a note is active (clicked), its stacking order z is updated to the maximum of the set Z plus one:
znew = max(Zall) + 1
