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)

One literal pixel every thirty seconds is not "active."

You went people to drool when a bell rings.

Encouraging users to obsess or react is plainly an addiction mechanic. In a collaborative MS Paint session. Tweaking the details of it misses what's wrong with it. It's an antifeature. It's a mistake.

Just give people one pixel every thirty seconds. "Active" means they check at least every couple minutes, at their convenience, where they will have up to six. If they step away for an hour they don't get hundreds.
