3 years ago Can't second this enough. Infinite scroll is a killer feature on OneNote for me (which is the only reason my laptop still runs Windows.) One of the main reasons I use digital notes over paper is it doesn't have those space constraints. This was the top priority I had in mind when I was looking for note-taking software to use.
I don't know if this'd make it easier or more difficult to implement/run, but what if you treated each pen stroke as its own layer, then have a file which remembers the positions of each layer (relative to the center of the canvas). This might also help if the pen-strokes are done as SVGs.

Describe the solution you'd like I'm interested in an infinite page feature, where the drawing area is endless in all directions. I think this is especially useful for now-linear content, e. g. mind maps. The idea actually came to my mind when collecting ideas in a mind map. At some place, I didn't have any more space to the sides of the page to add points.
Describe alternatives you've considered Technically, cramming everything into an A4 (or otherweise configured page - a giant square page) would work, but I think it'd be way easier to just being able to expand the page as you go. Also, if I scale the page up to a giant square, I'd have a lot of white borders in the export at the end. Another issue with this is that the performance is very poor. An empty page with 100 x 100 cm takes up 200 mb of ram on my pc. And that is without any drawings.
