Added richer keyboard editing to loosethought.com

Personally, I really love the the 'jump' tool, which assigns shortcut keys to each note you can see 🙂

Brainstorm, capture notes and run through research without using a mouse, and keep the benefits of visual thinking.

Got some fantastic feedback last week for loosethought.com and have been working away on it, what a relief to be doing things people ask for etc :)

- Snap to grid (this really improved things!!)
- Newlines inside notes
- Better highlighting effect

Added multi-sheet workspaces to loosethought.com

Researching a project or learning something new? it's now a lot easier to organize things!

I think this really delivers on the promise - a paper like experience with the best of digital (links, editing, sharing).

Added points/estimates to loosethought.com 🚀

Add an estimate to a note, and see the total at the top of the card.

Completed items knock the total down.

Added a toolbar to loosethought.com 🚀

Some early feedback: "keyboard support is nice, but as an additional thing, not the only thing" 😊

You can now move multiple cards at once! 🚀

Some tricky semantics dealing with the selections..

You run into this a lot with canvas apps, gestures you take for granted are actually quite complicated when interactions might be a click or a drag (and you don't know yet which is which)
