Canvas

What it does

Canvas is a simple, powerful blog publishing platform. Create your own blog with unparalleled speed and efficiency and share your stories with the world on a beautiful template that didn't take 67 plugins to create. Oh, and did we mention it's free?

Canvas is an open-source package that adds a modern publishing layer to any Laravel app. It gives you a distraction-free editor, a full media library, SEO tools, and audience analytics — all while staying lightweight and easy to drop in.

Canvas is a powerful tool for Laravel apps that makes it easy to write, edit, and brand your work with a range of publishing tools. Focus mode, autosave, SEO fields, and a post inspector that stays out of the draft until you need it. Topics and tags as deliberate taxonomy—attach from the post, create when you’re ready. Unsplash and BYOK AI (Grok, ChatGPT, Claude) configured once for the site. Write, organize, ship, and learn—publishing tools that fit how teams actually work, without turning your Laravel app into a CMS. Draft without distraction. Focus mode, headings, lists, tables, code blocks, and embeds keep you in flow from first line to final polish. Save work-in-progress, schedule when…from trycanvas.app

  You simply: 1. Connect your device. 2. Create a top-level `handwritten.blog` folder. 3. Every new notebook in that folder becomes a draft on https://handwritten.blog/ I hope this eventually obviates the need to look at the ugly upload interface you have to use to now upload your writing.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
