Are there business use cases for canvas other than drawing? Just curious if there are companies actually using canvas to do something...

It's used for rendering graphics of any kind that don't lend themselves well to the DOM. I worked on a project where we used the canvas element as a video player, rendering one frame at a time on it.

I’d like to hear more about that project. Can you share a URL if it’s public? I’ve imagined making something like that for showing a version of a super-8 film at 18 frames per second.

I'm creating an in-browser design tool that's using canvas. TBH I kind of hate the API, but that's because it's geared more towards drawing.

Like games? https://diep.io uses the canvas api, not webgl
