Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.

Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.

Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)

Happy to participate!

The one thing I wasn't super sure on was the undo timer... was it really 30 seconds 😅? I thought it was 5-15s, but i didnt really time it. And I'll be honest, I missed it maybe 3 times, so not much.

Besides just increasing the delay, there's 2 other thoughts:

  • A bigger target takes less time to hit (tho making it bigger might bother some, as it obstructs the canvas)
  • Two times I missed were bc I failed to notice my mistake. Maybe some extra visual feedback when you place a pixel could help. For example: when the void made it to my art, I accidentally made a dark gray become black, so it was harder to notice the color change. i was too busy focusing where to place the next pixel

Overall if you feel that the undo time was fine as it was I could easily respect that decision :)
