Canvas co-founder here. Thanks for hunting, @jdsimcoe. We are really excited to launch Canvas for iOS. If you want to read more about the app check out: https://blog.usecanvas.com/canva...
@mschoening Thank you guys! πŸŽ‰ So excited for this app to get out there in the wild!

Looks Cool :)

can someone explain me why google doc is not enough?
Max Schoening
@ourielohayon Good question. When we set out to build Canvas we wanted a simpler tool that doesn't have as many toolbars, options, and settings as Google Docs did. Further we wanted our documents to be more portable (you can simply append .json, .md, or .html to any Canvas and get the raw content out). It's mostly a subjective feeling but when you're in Google Docs...you're in Google Docs. πŸ™ƒ We're proud of the simple collaborative note taking app we've built so far but obviously we're working on things we can't yet talk about to differentiate us even further from Google Docs and other similar products.

Are you planning on releasing a Mac app at some point? I love the UI, very intuitive, nice work!

I’ve been beta testing Canvas for iOS for several monthsβ€”it’s totally πŸ’―. @soffes has been doing awesome work on it. It’s a great Markdown editor, and takes advantage of so many great iOS features (keyboard shortcuts, 3D Touch, gestures, etc). Just get Canvas. πŸ‘πŸ»

@lachlanjc Thanks for helping us test and for all your suggestions.

I love the concept! πŸ™Œ Writing markdown is such a tedious concept but with Canvas it's fun. ✌️
Max Schoening
@triplejberger Thanks! That's what we were going for. We still have work to do with inline Markdown but are pretty happy with block formatting.

How can I add an image on note on iOS? Great app! πŸ“
Max Schoening
@fcordillot Currently adding images only works from the web (drag and drop on to the canvas). We plan on making attachment possible on iOS too.

Pretty neat tool @mschoening ! Do you plan to support version control / edits tracking / suggestions soon ? (like in Google docs)
Max Schoening
@jmsaponaro I don't want to make promises I can't keep so I won't say soon but we believe that version control and suggestions are essential to collaborate on long lived documents.

I have been part of the beta since the start, and used the web app since its initial launch. It's the best Markdown editor IMHO, and I hope it gets the popularity it deserves ! Congrats on launching the iOS app :)

@far0s Thanks for helping us test it. πŸ’•

Been following and using Canvas for the past few weeks after seeing @soffes tweet about it earlier this year, and it's slowly becoming part of my daily workflow. Super exciting to see it come to iOS - going to put it through its paces over the weekend. Great work all ✌🏻
