   Hey! Steve here, founder etc. The biggest value prop is having a canvas that’s “web native”, and so can render anything that a regular website can. Try pasting a codepen link, scratch project, google maps url, gif or video. Almost all of th

   Makes sense, I'll look into it. I haven't been able to test on a lot of devices, especially tablets. As far as the select mode, try double-tapping one of the tools! That will keep that tool selected until you manually select a dif

   Its all offline (either in indexeddb or saved as .tldr files) except for multiplayer, which stores the document in an online database. That will eventually work offline too.

   Check the top right corner! I'm working on improving the that menu to make it easier to notice and use. :)

   Cheers. And yep, it’ll try to persist the document to local storage if your browser lets it.

    Just replied to another commenter with the same feedback, but agreed that there are times where you want to stick with one of those shapes. Double click on the shape in the toolbar to keep it selected!

    Thanks! I hadn’t considered that but it would definitely be possible. I’m considering having a “view only” version of the editor, and this could be one of its options.

    There are competing conventions for this in different kinds of apps. In the end, I went with the design app convention. If you want it to stick with the same shape, double click the shape in the toolbar!

    Yep, I'm a big fan of Excalidraw and am a contributor there too. I also re-implemented the pen tool in Excalidraw to use my digital ink library, perfect freehand ( https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand ),

    Thanks! There are some size options in the menu at the top right. And yeah, I've spent so much time thinking about how to do an eraser right! I think it will need to wait until the next version of my digital ink library. https:/&

    I'm a big fan of Excalidraw! And a contributor, too, I implemented the pen tool in Excalidraw. Both apps use my library perfect-freehand ( https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand ) for the digital ink. The m

    Export is coming, still working out a strategy there. It's a bit trickier because we're not using the HMTL Canvas API, but instead rendering regular DOM elements. Might need to be something on the server side, similar to what I&#x

    Right on, I'm hoping to put in some more options for the freehand drawing tool. That part of the app is using my other project, perfect-freehand ( https://perfect-freehand-example.vercel.app/ ), which supports a ton of o

    Sure, this is public info on my profile: https://github.com/sponsors/steveruizok . I'm up to 211 sponsors, about $1700 per month. Many of those sponsors are one-time donations. At the beginning, I set the minimum o

    Are you on Windows? The context menu seems to be behaving strangely for PCs users, probably a different set of default styles than I saw while developing. :/ Working on it! https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/iss

    I originally bought the domain tldraw.com for a different project, Telestrator ( https://github.com/steveruizok/telestrator ), which is an app for drawing on top of your screen during a call / stream. The app is pre

    Happy to answer any questions about this. If you're considering this kind of approach for a new project, I'd really recommend it, especially for projects that you plan to release in stages. My strategy with tldraw was to pair the

    Good call! Pushing a fix for that now.

    I've considered adding a list, for sure. You don't often see layers lists for these kinds of minimal whiteboarding apps, but personally I reach for the list every time I use tldraw. :/

    Hey, author here! Glad folks are enjoying this. A few notes: - I post a _lot_ about tldraw on Twitter. If you're curious about how this came together, or want to follow along as we ship new features, check out my timeline ( https:&#x2F
