Paradox: Local-first infinite canvas for documents, diagrams, data, code, and ink

Paradox is a spatial workspace for placing documents, diagrams, structured data, source code, drawings, and connected ideas on one local canvas. This diagram explains its native shell, structured node model, navigation, undo concepts, assistance boundary, and the prototype storage and export routes that still need production implementation.

Local-first infinite canvas for documents, diagrams, data, code, and inkParadox is a spatial workspace for placing documents, diagrams, structured data, source code, drawings, and connected ideas on one local canvas. This diagram explains its native shell, structured node model, navigation, undo concepts, assistance boundary, and the prototype storage and export routes that still need production implementation.
