Use case or problem
Similar to the global graph timelapse, I would one day like to be able to replay canvas node creation either automatically or by hand. A basic requirement for this to work is storing a node’s time of creation. This would turn each canvas into a time-based graph.
Proposed solution
Include a created
field in the canvas data file with a unix or similar timestamp value detailing a node’s creation. Similarly, update another field modified
with the latest timestamp when a node’s text is modified. Additionally, store created
/ modified
values for each edge.
Current workaround (optional)
None.
