I’d love to see a lightweight Sticky Notes feature on the Railway project canvas, similar to n8n’s sticky notes: https://docs.n8n.io/workflows/components/sticky-notes/
Large Railway projects can become visually complex with many services, databases, workers, cron jobs, internal APIs, environments, and shared variables. Being able to place notes directly on the canvas would make it easier to document context next to the relevant infrastructure.
Useful cases include marking service groups like “auth layer”, “internal APIs”, “workers”, or “observability”, adding deployment warnings, documenting environment-specific behavior, leaving onboarding notes, and adding TODOs near related services.
Ideally, notes would be draggable, resizable, colorable, Markdown-supported, and persisted per project/environment. Optional team-visible and private notes would also be useful.
This would help teams keep architecture context inside Railway instead of relying on external docs for lightweight project notes.

+1 on this. Looking for Sticky note I could add to the canvas as well.
My usecase is primarily putting service specific instructions for our workers and other services, like JOB_CONCURRENCY, DB_POOL and few other project specific envs and their optimal combination for different workloads and scaling them, that'd be super helpful to everyone on our small team. Also on how some specific service interacts with another and all.
Incredibly helpful context to have right in the canvas right where the services are, especially when it's more urgent.
