Using existing User model

[dgillier]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Unless you are creating just a blog, most other use are about adding a blog to an existing app. And in this situation, there is already a User model and duplicating it make things more difficult...

Describe the solution you'd like

I looked at your User table and there is just a few more fields but nothing used intensively...

I suggest to add some metadata to the existing User model by using, for example, a package like https://github.com/99codes/laravel-meta-attributes...

I totally agree.

The new canvas users table is not necessary, it could have just been merged with the existing users table.

It used to be that way. There's a discussion and a related issue that dive a little deeper into it.

Closing this because I believe a separation is applicable to a number of situations. While it isn't necessary in all cases, I'd like to keep it as is for the time being. Thanks @dgillier for offering the suggestion though!
