This seems to be very similar to the (sadly abandoned) Haystack editor [1]. I was a bit surprised to find no mention of Haystack in the README or here in the comments. Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

- BlueBerry2001 4mo agoThanks for the pointer, I actually didn’t know Haystack before. Looks like it belongs in the prior-art / inspiration section, so I’ll add it to the README. From a quick look, I agree there is overlap around the canvas editor idea. Cate is aiming a bit more at the broader project workspace layer: terminals, browser previews, editors, notes, agents, git/worktrees, docking/tabs/splits, and persistent layouts around a project. But yes, fair callout. Appreciate the input.
- cl3misch 4mo ago> Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique... Re-reading my comment made me realize it sounded condescending, where it was actually meant to emphasize that a canvas editor is a great idea! So I am very glad that there is development is this space. Just felt the need to clarify this...
