Hello again PH, Cansu here! Thank you, Chris Messina, for the hunt and for helping us reach you all today. Nearly a year ago, Caner and I launched the private beta version of Defter Notes, a handwritten spatial notes app for iPad. Over 500 beta signups, an App Store launch, thousands of hours, and 1.2 versions later, we’re happy to have yet another PH launch! UX FIRST My background is in UX research and I create illustrations. I’ve been an iPad user since the Apple Pencil came out and I really enjoy the hardware but I simply couldn't find *the* note-taking app I love. So we decided to develop it! Defter Notes is a digital infinite canvas for your notes, images, and documents. It embraces the chaotic nature of the creative process and works in line with how your brain works. We didn’t overcomplicate anything, you simply drag pages in and start writing on them. Our users all over the world come from a variety of backgrounds: teachers, researchers, knowledge workers, writers, students, architects... They all agree that Defter Notes simplifies their flow, is intuitive to use, and is highly adaptable for the kind of work they're using it for. We’re improving and moving Defter Notes in the direction our users want to see, and we always appreciate the feedback. Thank you all for your support!

Congrats on the launch. Looks really good. What would say are the big plus points over goodnotes/notability for someone already using it?

Hi Abhishek, thank you! The biggest difference is the spatial nature of Defter Notes, it acts as an infinite desk with multiple documents in it rather than one notebook with flippable pages. This comes in handy, especially when cross-referencing multiple documents. Another high note is free-form movement. This allows for zooming out to "look at the big picture" and zooming in to focus more on details. In a general sense, the difference is in the UX, we designed Defter Notes for an ease of use to keep the user in flow.

Such innovative methods are required in the domain of note taking. Looks fantastic. The  functional shortcut menu's portability makes life simpler. Great work. Congrats.

Excellent features and best alternative found for liquid text ,margin note 3s ,Affine and concepts. As I use multiple devices one Big request : Please bring on other platforms too like windows, linux debian(popular distro) for easy sync and working . If possible bring the feature of web page linking like liquid text but little advanced if possible.
