Make people aware of it?? I’m on lemmy all day and filtering by all and local and saw like two passing references to this.

Hexagon pixels. (Or weirdly shaped areas to be filled). It would force more creativity and get rid of all designs from previous rounds.

I'd like the option to place white pixels on virgin white pixels as a form of grief protection.

Offical user stats after it is done. Maybe a map to see all your placed pixels? Something like that.

Run an extra day or two, so everyone gets some weekend and week day? Between shift workers and countries with different weekends, Sat/Sun is still a workday for many.

Thursday-Monday feels good, perhaps with one of the modifications discussed here halfway through.

I didn’t see it so sorry if it’s been said, but I would like it if you didn’t have the timer set to 1min when replacing pixels you yourself placed. Thank you, and thank you for doing all of this! It was great!

Permanent one working with a different model. Like 1 pixel per hour with a fixed drop rate (instead of this “stay and place as fast as you can for best performance”), and you can hold like 36 pixels. So basically you drop a few dozen pixels daily then you're done. After every 100,000 clicks, you move the window 100 pixels to the right, making the leftmost 100 pixels locked forever creating a slowly growing endless immutable banner.

Better mobile support for templates, like buttons to toggle visibility

Depending on whats possible, we could do something similar to R/place and every so often expand the canvas start off with something small eg.512x512 and add another 512 px. along side

In the future, please do not ignore clear cases of abuse. The logs you published fully support the report reasons given by me in the case of one individual using 6 accounts, all newly made and going straight to grief as their first actions and throughout.

My son came up with a great idea where we could add a short pop-up note to a pixel or coordinate, perhaps with a viewing expiry time or until the pixel is changed, which would allow for direct communication with other people on the canvas. You could activate the note with a right click of the mouse, for example.

I think doing it more often than reddit would be cool, not super frequent, maybe twice a year. For now the gui is amazing, and i loved this iteration of canvas!

Also, after its done we can do something like r/place atlas too.

Make the event 1-2 days longer (total 4-5 days). 3 days was too short

The chat wasn't working for me. There is a hotkey ('B') for that but nothing appeared for me and I don't know if something was wonky on my end. Would be nice to be able to easily communicate with other peeps during the event.

besides the canvass, we could try something different. I really like that we don't know what would be next year.

Have some of the rules (like cooldown time and overdrawing penalty) vary spatially across the canvas. So there could be a “fast/dynamic” corner where it’s easy to interact and compete, and a “slow/static” corner where things stay put more (with intermediate values in between).

This could also be good feedback for future runs, because people could experience a variety of settings on the same canvas and see which they prefer.

Being able to schedule your next 5 or 10 pixels so that they place automatically. 1 minute is so short I had to dedicate my entire time to the canvas for 2 days straight

Maybe have a short cooldown replacing others' pixels when you have stacked them? Or removing the 30 second longer cooldown for replacing your own?

Edit: Two more suggestions: Ability to place Virgin pixels for your own work if you made a mistake and the undo button has faded/you have already placed another pixel and an Undo key (like "O" or something) to undo after the bar fades.

Different background colour so the final result doesn't look as empty

Bonus pixels for N pixel streak

what about a canvas that is online for way longer, like a couple of weeks, BUT it is read only except during peak user times, and/or the weekend.

give more time for attention and hype to build up, while still restricting the time people have to place pixels. it would also give people who want to place as many pixels as possible and make bigger projects have time to go outside and touch grass, as well as use the 6/6 pixel stacking.
