I've been fiddling with Canvas for a while and yeah, it does get boring. But other people continue to use it so it must have some entertainment value. Just not for me, or for you.
What I think Canvas lacks compared to 4chan's imageboards is actual discussion. I'm a regular 4channer and have been for years. Canvas emphasizes images at the expense of text posts. What I like about 4chan is the often amusing, roaming, and dare I say occasionally insightful conversations that take place. If 4chan is like a comic book, Canvas is just a stream of funny pictures. Not my thing, but could be fun for others.

Agree completely. It's something we're working on.
Idea: have a keypress+click for attaching stickers - so Q+LMB¹ would be smile, W+LMB would be awful, E+LMB would be classy, etc., you have 3 blocks of 9 keys on a QWERTY keyboard allowing 27 different sticker types to be added in this way.
I realise one could make more blocks or size them larger (eg 1+LMB, 2+LMB) but I think the visual match of 3x3 blocks and the hand-eye-coordination works better this way.
Any thoughts?

Also IMHO infinite scrollbars make for a terrible confusing and broken user experience.
Nice design apart from that though.
