It's really interesting that everyone's making infinite canvas apps these days.
I wish they would all have the same thing standard that FigJam has: that if you hit cmd/ctrl-Enter while typing in a sticky note or object, that the software will create a new one for you to the right or below the one you were editing and you can just keep typing.
If you're trying to use software like this for brainstorming or writing down suggestions from others live, it adds significant friction to have to take your hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to create a new sticky note.
Excalidraw is another really productive infinite-canvas app. It feels 10x more productive to draw diagrams using that (for me at least). I think the imperfection of the lines, text, boxes means that you aren't distracted by slight misalignments that are glaringly obvious in most drawing tools and that allows you to just go faster.
The freeform canvas was what made Microsoft Onenote seem so compelling to start with, at least potentially. They stuffed it up of course. But I was always surprised other apps didn't pick up that particular baton.
