So this is a major side question, but is there a go-to open source infinite canvas? I'm building a card game and I need a multiplayer infinite canvas for it. I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Does tldraw work for you? We use Pixi JS, which comes with graphics as well.

I think the biggest pain point for me is that nothing I've found supports cards that can be "flipped" so that they are face up or face down. I'm not an advanced coder but maybe I'll try to whip something up.

#146Meanwhile, an alias is easily created for macOS: `alias needle="/Applications/Haystack\ Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron"`

#148Digression, but among two contributors there are over 100,000 commits and the year listed is only 2024. That's an insane amount of commits (about 200 per person per day). Did they use autocommits? Would love to learn the tooling and devprocess that was used.

#150If you take a look at https://obsidian.md/canvas you will see that they have things like colored groups and different element-types. And their community-extensions have many more improvements for the canvas. Just focusing on navigation seems wasted. A good focus on mixing code, documentation and notes might be a more worthy goal, I think.
Anyway, as this is forked from VS Code, does this also support normal vscode-extensions and other features like workspaces? And does it receive updates from the original, or is it fixed to the initial forked VS Code-version?
