Show HN: Obsidian Canvas – An infinite space for your ideas
Obsidian Canvas uses a new JSON-based file format that we have open-sourced under MIT license. You can see the spec here:<p><a href="https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canvas.d.ts">https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canva...</a><p>Just like all other files in Obsidian, canvas files are your own and local to your device. You're still linking to your own Markdown files which are just as future-proof as ever.<p>We decided to create the .canvas format because there wasn't any pre-existing canvas-type format we could find that fit our priorities around longevity, readability, interoperability and extensibility.<p>The .canvas format is designed to be as easy to parse as possible. We've already seen a few plugins take advantage of it, and we hope that more tools will become available that can use the .canvas format.
