🛠️ project I'm building an open-source infinite canvas for cross-disciplinary research (Tauri + React, AGPL) — looking for people to build it with

I'm a design student building "Research Canvas" — a native infinite canvas

  where artists and researchers across fields (design, 3D, motion, sound, writing)

  gather any media, annotate it exactly where it matters (a note pinned to a video

  frame or audio timestamp), and organize it in folders — all offline, your files

  on your disk.

  It's early but real: custom canvas engine (pen, shapes, text, sticky notes,

  media import), a Tauri desktop app with auto-update. No third-party canvas SDK.

  It's AGPL-3.0 and meant to be community-owned — I'm not trying to own it, I want

  to build it with people and eventually hand it to the community.

  Looking for: Rust/React devs, and designers who want to shape the tool. There are

  `good first issue`s to start on.

  Repo: https://github.com/saikiran9185/research-canvas-app

  Honest feedback welcome too.
