Building Nota, an offline notes + whiteboard app for Mac
I’m building Nota on and off with Codex, Claude and other models. It uses the AFFiNE/BlockSuite editor with a new backend I built; credit to both projects. Core notes and whiteboards work offline without an account.
I’d like feedback from Mac developers on testing the canvas: two testers on M1/M2 Airs reported jumpy trackpad pinch zoom, with the M2 report narrowing it to boards with more than 3–4 shapes and deeper zoom. What would you measure first to isolate that?

Optional local AI needs installed models and compatible hardware; hosted AI and Drive backup need internet. I’m the developer; AI-assisted post.
