Thank you to everyone who was involved in the creation of this, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one. It's crazy how much nicer it was compared to the one from that other site. I placed a little doodle on the first day not expecting it to survive the night because it was in the path of another large piece. But when I checked the next day, someone had actually moved it to the side. That never would've happened on r/place.

This will forever be recorded as one of the most exciting events to participate in for my whole life. I've never been this happy and excited before. It is fun and intriguing just to be able to explore and draw a bunch of pixels into a public canvas just like grabbing squares (pixels) and putting it into a giant block of land (the canvas) to draw art with.

Great job! 😃

Thank you so much for preparing and running an event like this, and happy birthday 🥳

THIS is how I find out there was a canvas event... :(

Thank you, grant, and everyone who worked on this! I had fun.

I'd also like to thank the innumerable people who helped others out to complete their drawings - like The Dark Side of the Moon cover prism, or the Debian spiral.

I'm extra happy with how the Mander face and Megumin turned out. ~~And yes, Megumin's feet kept me awake a whole night.~~

Are you saying you were only 19~20 when you coded and deployed this? Holy shit, I have done web stuff before but I couldn't get myself to do that even if someone paid me.

That was a truly amazing and fun event, even with the occasional hiccup and downtime phase.

Thanks for hosting and happy Birthday!

Congratulations on an excellent event, and I look forward to next year's. The codebase should be more settled then and hopefully you'll manage to get a decent amount of sleep, unlike this time.

Also, happy birthday!

Oh hey, my poppy survived. And someone added a border. Neat.

I was genuinely shocked at how well this went, especially considering it's the first year. Reddit has done this three times now (four if you count the Adobe Create event) and this blew all of them out of the water.

i still have some pixels from day 1 on there!!

Glad My contributions made it into the final after all

It's been a great experience for me! Thank you all for not destroying my small doodle. Looking forward to next year!

Waldo is hiding in there somewhere, btw.

Yay I managed to sneak a little waldo at the last moment, thanks to the people in the chat who helped me, I was placing pixels with my phone on my way home.

Also, awesome work everybody!

(edit to fix grammar)

Thank you so much to you for making this happen, thanks to the other contributors and mods for helping to keep things running, and to all the participants!

Is the thumbnail version going to be the final official version? It's from hours before the end.

Huge thanks to grant for organising this huge event! This year's canvas was 100% better than 2023's.

It was amazing to see all the pretty things people came up with.

Thank you for organizing!

Thank you so much for running this amazing event and dealing with the difficulties along the way. Happy birthday! 🎉

And here i was thinking there wasn't an active Sounders instance here! Thanks for the work put in, the whole thing is neat!

Oh shit. Someone created the Taiwan flag! I thought I was the only Taiwanese person here.

Nice board we made folks

Congrats Everyone and thank yooou! :3

Shoutout to whoever drew the cat butler from Omori.

Just finished that game and it left me fucked up but also...happy? Massive emotional whiplash.

In the last timelapse I saw that some pixels were missing during the blackout. We continued placing pixels on the canvas while we only had that white screen bug. So some pixels are missing which were blindly placed.

So cool. Is there a way to find out which communities did what?

Was a really fun event, great at building our community, thank you to all involved! Looking forward to the next one

Neat
