    xTiles

    xTiles

    xTiles Inc

    A web note-taking app for creative people that combines the best from text editors and whiteboards. Think, write, and organize your thoughts based on cards and tabs. Structure and enrich all of your ideas in one place. By creating an infinite canvas where cards, much like sticking notes, resemble a neatly organized collection of inter-related ideas. They serve as units of thoughts with clear borders, displayed on a squeaky-clean white canvas. To preclude the document from becoming messy as the number of cards augments, we betted on clear-cut and intuitive functions. They include drag’n’drops; deep dive; tabs within a document; embedded pictures, videos, and links; sub-pages. As a result, the users get a well-organized, easy-to-navigate space. Rather than providing bits and pieces of scattered information, the tool gives you a bird’s-eye view of the cards creating the big picture. Our app offers a collaborative space for teams, sharing cards, and elaborating on ideas.
