CS_Store

An infinite canvas for your filesystem.

Some design decisions

1. All canvas state is stored in .CS_Store files. To send a canvas to someone, simply zip the directory and email it over.
2. Human-readable format for .CS_Store which can be manually edited with any text editor.
3. Size-as-context: When an element is added to the canvas, it's a fixed size in pixel width. To add a small comment, zoom-in to the context it concerns.
4. Audio as region: Sound files are played when visible in the canvas. Drop a file in to function as a soundtrack for a region of space.
5. Export to an .html with image files in a zip.

Installation

1. Make sure you have the packages in requirements.txt installed
2. Add display to your path or move it to a bin in your path.
3. Run display!

To Do:

1. Watch for changes to the .CS_Store for live updates from text editor
2. Store text as .txt files, rather than in .CS_Store directly
3. Export button to generate .zip
4. Fix jittering on zoom-in on Safari
