Canvas for ~Urbit

Video Demo

Features

• Each stroke is stored automatically on your Urbit.
• Export Canvas Images as SVG.
  • Image files are stored on S3 Storage, if configured.
• Allows creation of Public/Private Canvas.
  • Others can join a Public Canvas and work collaboratively in a cool art project.

Access

A public canvas is hosted at

~master-norsyr-torryn/canvas

Come and join the first public Urbit Canvas!

Installation

Copy and commit the contents of the urbit folder to your pier.

• First you need to mount the desk from where you will run canvas (e.g. by running > |mount /=home= from your urbit
• You copy all the frontend and backend files using the install.sh script: install.sh <PATH_TO_THE_MOUNTED_DESK>

You can also sync from the moon's home desk, without interacting with the file system (this is still experimental, so trying this on a planet is not recommended—use a comet or a moon instead)

|sync %home ~master-norsyr-torryn %home

Running

Once you have all the source code downloaded:

> |start %canvas

Then navigate to YOUR_URBIT_URL/~canvas (if you are running locally, this is usually: http://localhost:8080/~canvas)
