This is awesome, good job! I like how the interface blends so smoothly with the other existing Landscape apps. What's stopping Urbit from saving these canvas images more quickly, though?

Thanks! That's something I'd like to improve.

Saving here means generating a (svg/png) file (each stroke is automatically saved on the backend). There is a chunking of the canvas on the frontend when the image is too big, so that adds a bit of time (multiple http requests... etc) This in a super alpha state, so plenty of room for performance improvements on my end, but I believe that this is probably pushing the limits of what Urbit can handle in terms of networking and file system a little bit for the current status.
