Arcadia

An infinite canvas anyone can draw on and everyone can see.

Arcadia — An infinite canvas for everyone

Inspiration

I was in the shower, waiting for my water to get hot. That's when I came across Arc Browser's Easel. I thought to myself: what if we just have a giant canvas for everyone to draw on?

Building

The "building" stack is simple:

  • Architecture design: Thomas' brain
  • Code: Cursor, ChatGPT Codex & Claude Code

All built in 1 week.

What Happened

From 2 Reddit posts, we had 400+ people using the product.

Some things I learned managing an open canvas:

  • People are generally civilized
  • Drawing/Sketching tool is used far more than other tools (text, rectangle, etc.)
  • Once a dick/boobie is drawn, the "population" keeps growing at a dangerous speed

This definitely gave me an appreciation for how countries and communities are managed.
