CS_Store

Forked from https://github.com/tobyshooters/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, or run install.sh.
  3. Run display!

NOTE: At the moment, the display will assume this repository is located at ~/usr/repos/CS_Store. Edit display to change this.

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
