This is great. Just testing it out with a goal to switch from OneNote to canvas.
It can borrow a few things from OneNote e.g.
- cards resize automatically with text.
- OneNote starts with a cursor, clicking anywhere on canvas and writing is a single click operation.
- There are no hard borders around cards in OneNote.
- OneNote is WYSIWYG which this canvas isn't currently.
This is not a definitive list and I know its too early to ask for new features and stuff. Good things to consider IMO.

I absolutely hate any interface that has me fiddle with layout when I’m trying to focus on semantics. Not that this should impact Obsidian much, since I assume the canvas thing is optional there, just a data point. Related to infinite canvas _do_ checkout “The Humane Environment” [1] it has a few interesting takes As for a more semantic approach to layouting, I think Flying Logic[2] makes a decent job of it [1] https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/344726.The_Humane_Interface https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/344726.The_Humane_Int...

- smusamashah 4y agoI use OneNote extensively and as I understand each page is like a white board where you can write anything anywhere. If I wanted a linear interface I would be using Word instead.
- Ruq 4y agoI like the hard borders.
