Relevant to this FR from the reddit AMA
Question was
- Canvas is a huge step forward. A propietary yet open file format that allows for visual mapping. I’ve been rooting for so long for something that would let me have visual sorting as Treesheets allows me to. In a whiteboarding environment, I usually consider five features as mandstory: writing, linking, embedding, drawing, and a malleable environment. Canvas fulfills four out of five. Is a pencil tool for canvas being considered, as frameworks like tldraw are providing primitive yet open tools for the matter?
Response from CEO
- We do not think of Canvas as a drawing tool, more of a sensemaking tool — so our priorities are different than that of TLDraw, Figma, etc. We do plan to make it easier for plugins to be built on top of Canvas, so it could potentially be implemented by the community
