This was technically the original idea for Lapis, like others even I thought the best interface for a 2d organiser would be a canvas but I was obviously wrong since lapis exists now.

The goal with pandora was to make something really cool and ambitious, a place where I could do everything. but it’s actually kinda hard to do that especially with a webgl canvas.

And the big revelation I got from developing pandora was that making a canvas tool that uses browser api and dom is much easier than a webgl one. And almost all tasks people(including me) need a zoom interface for are possible without ever going against the browser using webgl.

But that doesn’t mean webgl is bad, the current version of pandora is still webgl based and it supports text editing*, image editing, bookmarks, pdfs, along with the ability to create freehand drawings.

Image editing varies from simply removing background using local depth model or eraser tool to advanced inpaintings and variant generations with cloud LLMs.

Btw it also supports moondream cus why not.
