Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.
Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.
Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)
Overloading middle-click as both scroll and color-select, when right-click goes unused, is a weird choice. Especially when empty pixels don’t count as white. Early on, I had no idea why my chosen color changed seemingly at random. Later, I had to mindfully select white from the bottom palette, when every other color was picked from nearby.
right click ended up getting used by a moderation tool, which admittingly wasn’t picked well 😅
there’s an issue for changing the color picking button
i originally picked middle click because that’s what minecraft did lol
Copying another program is valid design. Only the overloading is an issue.
Agreed so much, this was pretty frustrating for me too!
