Tap. Type. Stick.
Arrange the thinking later.

Running a decent note-storm

• Quantity first, judgment later — the classic rule survives digitization. Fill the wall, then switch to the move tool and let the clusters find themselves.
• One idea per note. A note with three ideas is a paragraph in costume.
• Columns beat categories — drag into rough columns (keep / try / drop, or glad / sad / mad for retros) and draw a marker line between them.
• Export the PNG at the end — the auto-crop turns your sprawl into a tidy artifact for the follow-up message nobody will read but everyone wants sent.

Versus the corkboard apps

The sticky-note SaaS tools do live collaboration and vote-dots; they also do workspaces, member seats and email onboarding. This wall does neither ceremony nor seats: it opens already working, keeps your notes on your machine, and hands you the .board file when the storm moves on. For a solo brain-dump or a screen-shared retro, ceremony is the enemy.
