Consider renaming project due to <canvas> confusion #1

Closed jayphelps closed 10 years ago

Very cool project but since the word canvas usually refers to <canvas> in the web context, I was initially very confused and didn't see the value, thinking it was specific to <canvas>.

Just by the name, it sounds like a lib to help you render using an offscreen canvas buffer or something. :no_good:

Yeah when I think like an engineer canvas has an entire different meaning than off-canvas, I'm reluctant to change the naming as the UI pattern exists in various libraries, e.g. http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/offcanvas.html http://jasonweaver.name/lab/offcanvas/ http://getuikit.com/docs/offcanvas.html and more.

Perhaps just need to clear up the difference between a canvas element and an off-canvas ui pattern

@pixelhandler Interesting enough, I'd just never seen that word used in the web context before. It looks like it is indeed used. Carry on!

@jayphelps I updated the Readme to address misconceptions regarding off-canvas as UI design pattern and the html canvas element
