Infinite nesting. Boards inside boards, forever.

Keyboard-first. Every action has a shortcut.

A graph, not a tree. Link any card to any board.

01 · How it works

Three steps. Infinite depth.

Every card on a Vela board is also a board. Click in to go deeper, escape to come back.

Workspace / Strategy / Q3 launch / Onboarding

100%30s loop

01 / DROP

Drop a card.

Hit space, type a name. It lands on your canvas with a single keystroke.

02 / DIVE

Click into it.

Double-click and the card unfolds into a fresh, infinite board. Your context follows.

03 / NEST

Keep going.

Add more cards, dive again. Esc returns. The breadcrumb remembers the way home.

02 · What makes it Vela

Most whiteboards are flat.
Vela has depth.

Four ideas that compound: nested canvases, a writable plain-text format, native AI integration, and real connections between cards.

Every card is also a board.

Click any card and it opens into its own infinite workspace inside. Keep your overview while you dive into details. The path home is always one Esc away.

Strategy → Features → Tasks → Subtasks → Code…

vs. flat tools, which force overview or detail.

Boards from plain text.

Describe a board in a few lines and paste. Built for humans first, and AI agents next.

# a tiny board, in 3 lines
card "Idea" at 0, 0
card "Plan" at 200, 0
"Idea" -> "Plan"

Speaks MCP natively.

Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can create boards, add cards, trace links, and refactor your canvas while you watch.

Trace links across the workspace

Refactor layouts on demand

A graph, not a tree.

Link any card to any board, anywhere in your workspace. Broken links are surfaced automatically, so your thinking never quietly rots.

I think visually. Nested boards made sense to me, but every tool I tried turned into a mess after a few weeks. Vela is my attempt to fix that.
