I (@pketh) built @KinopioClub for this this exact scenario. Click anywhere to get your thoughts out, then drag ideas together to visually connect them.
Works on mobile, has real-time collaboration, and no sign up needed to use.
Here's an example in use by @sfpc
A thinking space for brainstorming, planning, mood-boards, journaling. Basically for figuring stuff out – by yourself or collaboratively ~

Import/Export JSON Canvas [New]
Kinopio is the first app to support the @obsdmd JSON Canvas format, so you can easily import/export spaces between spatial apps
Mobile Improvements [new]
Swiping, zooming, and editing Kinopio spaces on your phone is so good now, it’s like an extension of your mind.
- Press and hold to drag cards or paint select
- Selected cards can be immediately dragged
👯♀️ Real-time collaboration is ready
- Shows user cursors and painting, even when they're offscreen
- Idle cursors disappear after a couple seconds
- Cards color and jiggle when someone else is editing or moving them to avoid conflicts
Share → Invite to collab
Boxes [New]
Boxes help you group, add structure, and guide collaborators around cards,
Helpful for adding sections, groups, lists, venn diagrams, or even swimlanes to your spaces
I’ve been so busy building, I forgot to mention, Kinopio is 4 years old now.
Just like with living, maybe the best strategy in business is to stay true to yourself and improve a little bit every day
