Atlas — Infinite Canvas for Ideas

What it does

Stop switching between apps. Atlas brings notes, tasks, a built-in browser, a visual canvas, and your terminal into one workspace. So your ideas, tools, and research stay connected while you plan and build.

Atlas is a macOS app where you think, plan, and build on an infinite canvas. Create projects, organize ideas, and bring your vision to life.

Atlas gives you an infinite canvas to think, plan, and build. Create projects, organize freely, and watch your ideas take shape. No edges, no limits. Pan, zoom, and expand your workspace in every direction. Your ideas deserve room to breathe. Organize everything into projects. Each one is its own world — a dedicated space for a specific idea, plan, or goal. Drop notes, images, sketches, and links anywhere on the canvas. No rigid structure — just flow. Move from loose ideas to structured plans. Atlas adapts to how you work — from brainstorm to execution. Built specifically for Mac. Fast, fluid, and feels right at home alongside your favorite apps. A clean, distraction-free interface that…from atlascanvas.app

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
