I would love to see this instead of the current tools to distribute items
…
Yeah- “instead” is too optimistic. I agree it would be helpful to have smarter Layout options. Especially as half the fun of working in a canvas is playing with layout! So an actionable feature could be:
- distribute function returns value to field called Spacing.
- Nearby elements are distance checked with the Spacing field.
- Nearby elements are “snapped” to the Spacing arrangement.
- Each “new” card is created at the Spacing interval.
- As the Spacing field updates, so does all the nearby elements
This achieves the “smart grid” without locking cards to a grid. Works horizontally and vertically. Also means that mobile users don’t change their behaviour
