I'm mostly interested in general use annotations. Basically, I want the ability to quickly circle a feature in a plot and point to it with an arrow associated with a text box with some explanation. I think the mini, floating blocks as you described could work well as long as they can be grouped and "locked" in place so they don't accidently get pushed away. OneNote has the ability to add such general annotations very easily, but there's no ability to lock the positions, and so as a result notebooks can easily become a jumbled mess.

Very nice work. I'll definitely play around with it. For the use case of a digital lab notebook, it would be nice to be able to annotate (superimpose drawings, highlight, etc.) images and pdfs directly in the editor. This would be even more powerful if such annotations could be grouped or locked, so that their position relative to the annotated image remains fixed. This is something that all other note taking apps either miss entirely or implement poorly (or maybe there's something else out there that does this well?). Is this possible in Stempad, or are you considering adding such functionality?

This feature to add annotations directly onto the canvas is the main reason I've continued to use OneNote (despite its limitations like lacking the ability to 'group' items). I tried to mimic this functionality with various plugins in Obsidian in the past, but it didn't really work. I'll have to give it another look.

I'm curious to know how you're using Mermaid diagrams for hardware. Can you give an example?
