I'm updating this post from the canvas :) I think the canvas itself is almost ready and excited to share it online. There was some weird bug where when I saved the .canvas file to are.na channel and loaded it back in there was a JSON parsing error. Although it happened only for a specific block and hasn't happened since... so I dunno. Will see if this comes back later.
I still need to implement groups, and making new blocks. Maybe make the canvas infinite, like it can start of at a certain size and grow based on farthest away block or something.
The minimap doesn't respond to scale change because the math for that is going to be funky and I dont care enough at this moment for that type of accuracy so I'm just going to let that be.
From this block -> BLOCK
@Justin Liang's Hypercanvas https://www.are.na/block/40838466 Also their friend @Connie ⛱'s link dump project.
@Nico Chilla linked @fergarram ☠︎ ’s previous project suna.garden which sent me on a rabbit hole to @fergrarram's journal which I thought was really cool cause it reminded me of this space :) And also rediscovered unit.software~~ got super excited, tried to use it a little but ultimately gave up because I couldn't find resources to guide me through its mechanics...
