Hexagon pixels. (Or weirdly shaped areas to be filled). It would force more creativity and get rid of all designs from previous rounds.

Timelapses
Weirdly shaped canvas yes, weirdly shaped pixels no, in my opinion. Not until I have a computer with hexagon pixels.
Doing a theme each year with an appropriately shaped canvas would make each year feel distinct
Don’t end till there are no more virgin pixels.
What about designs that contain white?
You paint them white properly so they no longer show up as as virgin pixels.
Run an extra day or two, so everyone gets some weekend and week day? Between shift workers and countries with different weekends, Sat/Sun is still a workday for many.
Thursday-Monday feels good, perhaps with one of the modifications discussed here halfway through.
The chat wasn't working for me. There is a hotkey ('B') for that but nothing appeared for me and I don't know if something was wonky on my end. Would be nice to be able to easily communicate with other peeps during the event.
Like xuv said, it was a matter of moderation and how Matrix is much better setup for moderation. I failed to remove the mentions to the chat though, which did confuse people, sorry about that.
for next years I would like to better connect the on-site chat with Matrix to make chatting a lot easier (and bridging a Discord server to the Matrix space)
for next years I would like to better connect the on-site chat with Matrix
That would be great!
There were a couple questions about that here where the admin said they disabled it because they expected people to chat on Matrix instead. I imagine that's easier to moderate etc but it would've definitely been more user friendly to have the built in one.
Also, after its done we can do something like r/place atlas too.
I think doing it more often than reddit would be cool, not super frequent, maybe twice a year. For now the gui is amazing, and i loved this iteration of canvas!
Different background colour so the final result doesn't look as empty
Open a second phase with a black background.
Yes, I was thinking the same. You could even do a "flags blank" where it starts with flag-sized rectangles of various random colors.
I, and I'm sure many others didn't and won't take part due to the time commitment. I get the competitive element is part of the fun for some, but some way of accommodating those that would just like to add something without defending would be good, like a section where users own a segment and to build something bigger you have to work with neighbours, but you don't have to worry about being overwritten on your patch
I'd like the option to place white pixels on virgin white pixels as a form of grief protection.
Better mobile support for templates, like buttons to toggle visibility
First of all, thanks for this event. I love things like this.
Then i have an idea for the next canvas. What if the virgin pixels have no cooldown. Only already placed pixels gain more and more cooldown. A bit like on everyonedraw.com. this way the canvas would be full very soon, then the wars begin. I understand that many dont want rivality but i guess there are some who do want. Maybe it could be alternating. Obe year peaceful, one year war.
Permanent one working with a different model. Like 1 pixel per hour with a fixed drop rate (instead of this “stay and place as fast as you can for best performance”), and you can hold like 36 pixels. So basically you drop a few dozen pixels daily then you're done. After every 100,000 clicks, you move the window 100 pixels to the right, making the leftmost 100 pixels locked forever creating a slowly growing endless immutable banner.
Infinite German flag? Sounds like an infinite German flag to me
