retro-board's Issues

[feature] move and delete shapes

🧩 Feature

Description

Move and delete existing shapes on the canvas

[feature] allow to change the z-index of the sticky-notes

🧩 Feature

Description

currently all sticky notes will have the same z-index which makes it hard to manage overlapping notes.
There should be a way to change the z-Index of the notes.

Idea:

• basic z-index: 10
• selecting a sticky while mousedown is pressed:
  • and click on +: z-index will be increased by 1
  • and click on -: z-index will be decreased by 1
• min z-index: 10
• max z-index: 20
