Show HN: Free developer-first OneNote alternative

Hey Everyone, been working on a note-taking app called janta (Just Another Note Taking App) the past few months.

You can try it out at app.janta.dev (you will be redirected to app.janta.dev/canvas/temporary, which is the locally-stored whiteboard you can access)

I felt limited with OneNote, Excalidraw, and other infinite-canvas style apps, so I built an alternative. You have access to code-editors, Desmos graphs, and rich text editors (SlateJS). This is because the canvas is designed in a way that allows web components to exist on the same layer as pen-strokes, so you can annotate code, circle points-of-inflection, and programmatically generate graphs using matplotlib.pyplot!

This is a beta release, and feedback would be awesome!
