From c79b2c51afd60095720dcf659b5a1600b5bb45c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leslie Owusu-Appiah Date: Sat, 6 Jun 2026 20:17:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: lead README with what JSON Canvas is, not the renderer stack Anyone landing on the README cold should know within a sentence that JSON Canvas is an open file format originally from Obsidian.

The library exposes imperative controls for fit-to-viewport and recentre, plus an extension surface for community conventions like Obsidian cssclasses and callouts. ## Install
