When browsing the Anytype forum, i stumbled upon this post which I found quite interesting and which I have copied (and slightly modified) below:
Obsidian had recently released their canvasing functionality as an Open Source file format (.canvas ) that can be adopted by anyone. It would be really nice have the ability to utilize this functionality & format inside of Joplin (or at the very, very least… be able to preview it):
HOW COULD IT BE DONE
Here are the release notes note on JSON Canvas 4. It has other additional resources / links included.
It could be built out to include Drawing / Whiteboard features as well, which would be really helpful.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
The video above should provide a great example of how it could be used. It is similar to:
- Scrintal 3
- Mind Map tools
- Features that Affine 3 has
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES
None at this time. It is a great jumpstart to providing this kind of functionality in Joplin, instead of having to build out Canvas functions from scratch.
