Whiteboard / Canvas / Drawing

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.

We just released an updated "What's next" article. You can read it here: https://capacities.io/roadmap/whats-next
We currently don't have whiteboards on our roadmap. Nevertheless, we do not exclude that this can change. We still encourage you to vote on this ticket to get a better idea of the importance to users and to stay updated on the topic.

I think this should be a low priority item. The app doesn't have to do everything. We don't want the developers to spread themselves too thin. Perhaps interaction with another app would be best.

The lack of Some basic mind-map / infinite canvas functionality is realy sad

Even allowing Excalidraw pages to display when embedded would make it a game changer.
For now, a work around is to export an Excalidraw to a "Save to Link" which you copy to one of your Capacities notes. And you can click on the link whenever you want to see it.

Would really get value from an integrated whiteboard - Excalidraw is absolutely awesome!

Some basic mind-map / infinite canvas functionality with basic vector editing would be incredible. I'd go from a believer to a Believer in a heartbeat.

Michael McNaught this is super important to me. Until Capacities offers this, will stick with Heptabase although would love to use Capacities

Yes, doesn't have to be a full-blown infinite canvas, but a way to present the linking of the notes intentionally and visually (other than the graph view) will help me to do project and knowledge management in a much more helpful way. The graph view shows links between notes 'organically' (to help surface links that we are not aware of) while a whiteboard allows one to determine the links between the notes visually. Thus agree that this is the one missing feature in Capacities.

Steffen Bleher it's essential to me in the long run, and I agree it's the one thing I so miss about Obsidian. I've always been a mindmapper, possibly because I'm aphantasic and can't visualise, so I have to offload those visualisations elsewhere. I use a couple different mindmap apps between Mac and PC, but Obsidian's canvas always led to really good insight about my notes and how they interrelate, much more so than the graph view. It enabled me to not just read my notes, but really work with them. As a PhD student and education professional, it's the meat of the job.

Canvas is the only thing I am missing in Capacities. It will be a great advantage over Obsidian as well

This is the one thing keeping me from going all-in on Capacities.

The lack of Canvas for notes is the only thing keeping me from committing to Capacities. I so want to forget about Heptabase and Obsidian once and for all.
