Canvas 2026 starts tomorrow!

tomorrow! it's tomorrow! in almost 24 hours we begin!

if you haven't heard of this before-- Canvas is a yearly event grant's been running since 2023, and it's a real-time collaborative pixel canvas that runs for 48 hours, just for the Fediverse!

How do I join?

On the website you'll be able to login using fediverse-auth (it works similar to "sign in with google")

if your app supports it, you can also login directly with it ✨

You can also test the login process directly on the site (click the emojis!)

Five, six, seven, eight, try to keep your flag great.

Squealing like a captured pig when your flag immediately outshines mine
