-- scrape html, when image embedded, upload to canvas and add img tag to canvas asset in html before sending image
-- put all images in an image repo in a /course/semester/filename format. upload the image to canvas, replace the url before sending it over with the canvas version.
-    - store canvas image ids in settings?
-
-allow multiple courses to be edited concurrently in different browser tabs
-
-schedule planning view? just outline concepts? (maybe some non-canvas scheduled thing that only shows up in planner? like a note, could be de-emphasized in webpage)
-- probably have a notes section for each module. Have a toggle to expand notes in module

+- inline display
+- merjaidjs has a way to encode the chart as base64 and pass it to a url to get a png back
+    - <https://github.com/mermaidjs/mermaid-live-editor/issues/41>
+    - aparently not just any base64 encoding works, use their function
+- if the chart gets auto-converted to a png to be displayed, it should work properly on canvas as well
 
+remember expanded modules as well as scorll position
