Thank you dev team for Canvas! Obsidian has become such an impressive app and you are doing incredible work. I’m already loving Canvas for story boarding and creating rudimentary fantasy maps.
Use case or problem
I think it would be great if cards had greater variety. Currently, only square/rectangular shapes are possible and it would be cool to have, for example, triangles for events on a storyboard, circles for characters, and squares for settings.
Proposed solution
It would be great to have the option of inserting different shapes, like circles, triangles, etc. There could be a transform button on the pop-up that appears when you click a card to change its colour, delete, etc.
This would also be useful to use Canvas todevelp process flowcharts and algorithm maps both to aid in development and for documentation of how the thing as programmed actually works.
There’s nothing special about the shapes – they’re just regular square notes. What I meant by “offset” is that every other column of notes is pushed down a half, so that they function like hexagons.
I agree, having some other note shapes would be nice.
Wanted to raise a new topic, but found that one. I definitely vote for hexagonal shapes cuz they’re sometimes very useful for creating mind maps on Canvas.
Didn’t think hexagonal shapes could be useful at all until started using Canvas more often. It seems like they’re more… versatile?
P.S.: Maybe I just spent too much time in Civilization V when they changed the map grid from squares to hexagons, but either way, I vote for this shape!
