We spend a lot of time building on the canvas. We write a lot about it, too. In the thread below, a few recent pieces from the archives on AI, agents, and spatial software:

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate the launch of tldraw flash with us. Looks like flash really did bring some joy back to tech. Keep making good stuff with the canvas.

In tldraw.com, stacking shapes more consistently preserves the relative positioning of shapes connected with arrows.

020

tldraw @tldraw.com · 13/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, locked shapes will be skipped when cycling through shapes with the tab key.

020

tldraw @tldraw.com · 12/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, the "Frame selection" action will support wrapping a single shape in a new frame. Previously, you could only use this operation with multiple shapes selected.

0121

tldraw @tldraw.com · 11/09/2026

As of this week's release, holding the right shift key while pressing the arrow keys to nudge shapes will do a "big nudge" in the same way as does holding the left shift key. sorry, we're running out of bugs over here

tldraw flash is now live. A new animation tool that lives on the infinite canvas. Draw something, press record, drag it, and watch it come to life. Try it now – it's free.

We are throwing a flash release party next Tuesday, September 15th. Hang out with the tldraw team and other creatives. We'll get into how flash was built, then look at what people around the world have made with it. Bring your own animations (we have got prizes)

In the next version of tldraw, newly created notes will be automatically panned into view.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 07/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, the toolbar drag gesture spawns shapes only when the pointer leaves toolbar. This prevents accidental shape spawning, especially on mobile.

041

tldraw @tldraw.com · 07/09/2026

We're doing a live session on tldraw flash Thursday, Sept 10, 6pm GMT / 1pm EST. We'll go through how it works, how we built it on the tldraw SDK, and what's coming next.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 03/09/2026

In the latest release, pressing a keyboard shortcut that includes an arrow key will no longer move selected objects by one pixel. For example, the Space + ➡️ shortcut (move the viewport over) would previously cause the ➡️ shortcut (move selected shapes right) to fire by mistake.

040

tldraw @tldraw.com · 02/09/2026

In the next version of tldraw, resizing multiple objects will now move bookmarks and other non-resizable objects instead of keeping them frozen in place.

070

tldraw @tldraw.com · 02/09/2026

We’re launching tldraw flash, a new way to animate hand‑drawn ideas on the infinite canvas. Draw a shape, press record, then drag to perform the motion. Trim clips on the timeline, export, and remix.

In case you missed it, our last release allowed geometric shapes to be flipped horizontally or vertically. Surprise your friends with a reverse checkbox.

In case you missed it, our last release added the ability to hold ⌘ or Ctrl while using the drawing tool to hot-swap to the eraser.

050

tldraw @tldraw.com · 31/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, the text and bookmark shapes created by pasting will also be selected. This matches the select-on-paste behavior of other types of shapes.

020

tldraw @tldraw.com · 31/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, pasting from the context menu will center the pasted content on the canvas location where you first opened the menu, rather than on your cursor's position when you clicked Paste.

030

tldraw @tldraw.com · 29/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, your screen's refresh rate no longer affects the speed of edge scrolling.

0100

tldraw @tldraw.com · 29/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, your screen's refresh rate no longer affects the friction of camera panning movements.

tldraw @tldraw.com · 28/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, uploading multiple files will still succeed even if one of the files is invalid.

030

tldraw @tldraw.com · 27/08/2026

In the next version of tldraw, changing the crop aspect ratio of a rotated image no longer causes its center to change.

Getting multiple AI agents to work together on an infinite canvas means tackling a huge coordination problem. Here's what we learned while building our fairies feature (december only on tldraw dot com)

okay, vague idea: integrating LLMs + block based programming overcomes the biggest limitation of block editors (looping control flow etc.) internally, generate python jupyter-like snippets, but user should only ever see outputs. Draw edges to describe dataflow (demo whipped up using @tldraw.com)

TIL you can simply drag or copy/paste an SVG file into @tldraw.com and it'll directly render it. And you can export / download the original file. That's probably the world's fastest way to share assets with others...

Screenshot of the tldraw.com UI. A SVG is selected. A context menu offers to download the original file.
