    It's the moment of letting this very personal thing of yours out into the world, ultimately becoming changed and shaped by those interacting with it.

    Really cool, both the tech and the release of it. I'm also very excited about the docs related to the architecture of the project. Many projects forgets this part and it's really hard to collaborate or learn from the source. Canvas is topic I recently discover and a project like this could be an eye-opener for me. Thanks for sharing.
