Whiteboard

The ability to connect multiple entities on a whiteboard and add free text. The whiteboard itself is also an entity and has it's own database. A good implementation is Heptabase.

This would be awesome. Check out Millanote. I think the Capacities team could do some great work here.

I am also supporting this suggestion. My caveat as a writer is that It would be nice to have a ridiculously easy card/note system for the whiteboard like Milanote or Muse for plotting. I don't have to spend a ton of time setting up the cards themselves and can just start brainstorming and moving stuff around as needed.

Elizabeth Mackey Muse is amazing. Would love to see this functionality in Capacities.

Clusters of Objects in Visual Space + Freetext (Group Labels)
A
Anshal Gupta
Inspiration: I like the Gallery view style with square tiles although I would like more creative expression. Consider implementing a whiteboard-style version. I would really enjoy a free-form tool synchronized with my main workflow. (so I can finally switch completely over from LogSeq!) However Capacities is so uniquely different that I think a simple implementation as I describe will be functionally superior than what I am able to do on competitor apps.
The vision is to cluster similar objects together in custom groups that I could assign labels to, write comments about, etc. Making all objects free-form may require too much memory so perhaps have a whitespace with options to 'call' an object into that space from objects. Basic functionality of text boxes / sticky notes would enable custom labeling and planning.
To me, 'Group Labels' / free text is distinct from tags. Moving the tags around the board gives it a more fluid assignment than tags that reflects innate or central characteristics among objects.
For example, I might have a tag for 'school-friend' but the group label would be 'Daniel's Birthday Party'. In that visual space, I would bring together objects that would literally make Daniel's party come to life: People, images, files, tables, weblinks, etc.
Finally, this proposed method for clustering is distinct from traditional mindmapping because objects are not physically linked together (although, that is an idea to consider and I can see value of). Here, clusters share space around a common 'state' that may change over time. For example, shifts in group positioning over time can reflect real-world transitions that are so impactful in our lives.

Canvas working on Capacities with links to notes is a must have to leave Obsidian behind. Importing the previous Canvas from Obsidian is also necessary.

I would like this.

Yeah, visual note-taking with links are mandatory for an application of this level. This is the next level

Would love a canvas as well.

This would be a game changer. Take a look at Milanote and Whimsical.
