Description

Compare each of the 13 shapes that exist in both canvas-website (tldraw) and rspace-online (folk-*) side-by-side. Document missing features in the rspace versions.

Pairs to audit:

  1. ChatBox ↔ folk-chat
  2. VideoChat ↔ folk-video-chat
  3. Embed ↔ folk-embed
  4. Markdown ↔ folk-markdown
  5. Slide ↔ folk-slide
  6. Prompt ↔ folk-prompt
  7. ObsNote ↔ folk-obs-note
  8. Transcription ↔ folk-transcription
  9. ImageGen ↔ folk-image-gen
  10. VideoGen ↔ folk-video-gen
  11. GoogleItem ↔ folk-google-item
  12. Map ↔ folk-map
  13. WorkflowBlock ↔ folk-workflow-block

For each pair: read both implementations, note feature gaps, classify as critical/nice-to-have.

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 All 13 shape pairs compared side-by-side
  • #2 Feature gaps documented with severity (critical/nice-to-have)
  • #3 Critical gaps identified for immediate fix

Implementation Notes

Audit Findings Summary

Completed feature-parity audit across all 13 shape pairs. Identified critical gaps in 7 shapes requiring backend/architecture work:

Critical Gaps by Shape:

  1. folk-chat: No real-time backend sync (local-only messages). Messages only persist in client-side Automerge store; no server broadcast or presence system.

  2. folk-video-chat: No peer-to-peer video infrastructure. Missing Jitsi integration; only local camera preview available.

  3. folk-markdown: Plain textarea implementation vs canvas-website's MDXEditor. No table support, syntax highlighting, or rich markdown features.

  4. folk-slide: No slide navigation or presentation system. Currently a decorative container only; lacks deck traversal and full-screen mode.

  5. folk-prompt: No streaming response support. No arrow-binding template substitution for dynamic prompt construction from shape references.

  6. folk-obs-note: No vault sync mechanism (Quartz/GitHub integration). Plain textarea editor without multi-format obsidian compatibility.

  7. folk-map: No collaborative presence indicators, pin annotations, routing/directions, or multi-style layer support (satellite, terrain).

Pervasive Gap (All 13 Shapes): StandardizedToolWrapper features missing across all implementations: pin/minimize/maximize/tags. These foundational window-management features need framework-level integration.

Best Parity Shapes (closest feature coverage):

  • folk-google-item: Good feature alignment with canvas-website GoogleItem
  • folk-embed: Functional iframe/external content support
  • folk-transcription: Core audio-to-text parity achieved

Recommendation: Prioritize real-time sync infrastructure (folk-chat, folk-video-chat) and StandardizedToolWrapper integration as foundational for improving parity across all shapes. Markdown and slide features require moderate lift; map and obs-note features are lower priority for MVP.
