This should 100% be implemented in Obsidian !

Excellent - an almost effortless 'plug-in/snipett' with so much to offer. Such an easy way to add some meaningful graphics to text, especially dashboards for individual projects... particularly the diabetes and storeyboard examples. (more on some of those perhaps) especially say as a multiple layer 'outline'.

All credit to tfthacker for this work...

This is Danny Hatcher in a Canvas Candy sweetshop!! Nice vid. I suspect many of these features will drop into Core Canvas in the fullness of time.

I was intrigued when I saw an article about Candy, but after watching your video it is a no brainier purchase. Also you have unwittingly correct my assumption. Goodness knows why but for some reason I thought TFT Hacker was a sudo name for you!

I got it! Unsure why i would want to insert css classes in my cards to make them change shapes and opacity when i can just use excalidraw but i supported tft hacker so thats my good deed for the day

Hello Danny. I hope you're doing well. How does Canvas with that plugin compare to Excalidraw or MindNote, in your opinion?

[epizeuxis]

I'd love to see you compare and contrast Canvas Candy with Excalibrain. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each?
There is an investment to reach natural proficiency in each tool - so when would you recommend one over the other?
Would you recommend using only one of these tools for consistency - or do both have their place in a toolkit?

IDK, not opposed to donating to people for their work when I have the money, but it seems like this could have been made so much more functional as a plugin -- which obviously couldn't be paywalled.... So I can see exactly the reason the functionality hasn't been pursued 🤑. Also another issue is that raw CSS markup isn't really copyrightable, so putting it behind a paywall is kinda silly in the first place.

It looks like 20 bucks to turn canvas into the donationware Excalidraw with less features =/

[lmao]

It's cool and all, but mostly a bit useless. Especially that bigger canvases performance is not that great, adding anything on top of this is just not a way to go.

[PhilipDudley]

I don't get how you "flattened" the cards so they're just a line. When I try to change it or create my own, they either don't go back to flat, or just don't.

[BF-non]

Any plugin to have the connections made in the Canvas show on the notes? ala Heptabase

[robertmaxey]

Title suggest this is an Obsidian update. Disappointed.

[KekoaSkills]

I bought this and accidentally renamed the vault and broke it; but it had potential hehe
