CnF-Infinity

CnF-Infinity is a Rust-based, canvas-driven application designed for managing and linking notes and code. It provides a flexible interface to create, edit, and connect nodes with arrows, annotate with marker strokes, and track changes with robust undo/redo functionality. The project state is persistently saved so that you can continue your work later.

Inspired by Goosecode

CnF-Infinity was developed as an alternative to Goosecode because Goosecode lacked a native version for Linux. This project brings a similar infinite canvas experience to Linux users, while being open-source and cross-platform.

Features

• Canvas-Based Interface:
  Easily create and manipulate note and code nodes on a resizable canvas.

• Node Connections:
  Connect nodes with curved arrows to represent relationships and dependencies.

• Marker and Eraser Tools:
  Draw freehand annotations and erase them when needed.

• Undo/Redo Functionality:
  Snapshot-based undo and redo allow you to revert state changes seamlessly.

• Persistent Storage:
  Save your project—including full history of snapshots—to disk for later retrieval.

• Cross-Platform Compatibility:
  Built with Rust and egui, CnF-Infinity is designed to run efficiently on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

UI Overview

• Node Creation:
  Use the toolbar to create new note nodes or code nodes.
  Nodes are positioned relative to your current view in a circular pattern.

• Connections:
  Enable arrow mode to connect nodes with curved arrows.
  Click on a node to start an arrow, then click on another to complete the connection.

• Annotations:
  Use marker and eraser tools to annotate your canvas.

• Undo/Redo:
  Utilize the undo and redo buttons to revert or reapply changes.

• Saving:
  Save your project along with its full undo/redo history to storage.
