I made https://www.breakdown-notes.com Its' a tool to make notes quickly. You can click anywhere and start typing, copy paste text and images from pdf's or other sources, and use a multitude of shapes, arrows and colors. Also it's easy to reorganize / revise your notes: text can be edited like in any other text editor, but it is way easier to reposition text blocks / images. They can simply be dragged anywhere. You can zoom in and out of the map you take notes on, making it easy to get overview or detail.

It works great as a note taking tool while reading a book, or following a course. Searching the notes is OK-ish. You cannot search the notes without opening it. It works best in chrome and is not intended for use on mobile.

That looks like a good tool, which can make some nice visual notes.

There is a typo in your sign up line though (should be weeks)
