I wanted to show HN my latest work, www.graffitidrop.com, and get some feedback from the community. 99% of the interaction on the site is through HTML5 canvas. I found that HTML5 canvas allowed for a more fluid interface, so I thought I'd pose the question "are HTML5 canvas based UI's the way of the future?".

Ummm they are just like using flash. No standards, no w3c, an interface stuck in a box which happens to sit on your site.

Good point. Hmm, so I am seeing great benefits in using HTML5 canvas for the UI, and I believe as people start expecting more and more from their web experience we will see more UIs moving to canvas. Are you aware of any efforts out there to merge HTML5 interfaces with some of the standards we have with traditional HTML interfaces?
