I played around with the new canvas feature in Obsidian. I certainly see me using that feature and it could lead to me using Obsidian also at work – instead of OmniGraffle for Mindmapping.
The screenshot shows my index notes on a single canvas.

@joshuapsteele, that would be one use. I need to check it it works out. Another usage case I'm thinking of is to create one for each of my active projects. Serving as a visual entry point into the project topic.

@joshuapsteele @v_ now that’s a smart use of the canvas tool. I’ve only just started playing around with it and I’m categorising a whole load of visual frameworks.

@ChrisJWilson what do you understand under "visual frameworks"? Tools to mindmap or for note taking?
by V_ on
@V_ I would see a visual framework as a layout to help guide your thinking and decisions. A classic would be a mountain with three peaks. This would guide your thinking to “what’s our end goal, what are the points we need to reach on the way.” A mindmap is a form a framework as it guides you to just get ideas out and organize by type, but I’d classify it as “just” a layout as it’s isn’t very prescriptive. In truth there’s little between layouts and frameworks but I find the prompt of “what does this structure guide me towards.” To be useful.

@V_ nice! So would you use this kind of canvas as like a daily dashboard or something?
