    We're in chats with the GitHub team, they're taking it really seriously. I consider our pause on contributions similar to pi's open source vacation, we'll figure it out. https://gi…

    Show HN: Together, multiplayer drawing chat room

    Anonymous multiplayer drawing app (with all that entails) in a canvas that slowly scrolls everything off-screen. I made this back in 2023 but just got it hosted again, still fun! F…

    Author here. tldraw is not an open source project. It used to be but we switched to a commercial license for our v2 in 2023. The old v1 is still available under MIT; and I try to p…

    (author here) Code quality matters a lot—we make an SDK, we sell our code. I'm writing my own code with the assistance of AI tools. When I'm asking an agent to step in, I can recog…

    (author here) To be fair, we also were getting plenty of poor PRs that implemented well-described issues. Or hey, maybe they were poor and maybe they weren't, but they were someone…

    Hey, OP here. Shitty issue command is fine in a world where I have time to review it and expand it, just like I would have before; except now, there's a 80% chance that actually th…

    Reviewing code is much less of a burden if I can trust the author to also be invested in the output and have all the context they need to make it correct. That's true for my team /…

    I have a GitHub action that labels and tags issues automatically. It also standardizes the issue title. I love this script and would recommend it to anyone. https://github.com/tldr…

    Hey, Steve from tldraw here. We use AI tools to develop tldraw. The tools are not the problem, they're just changing the fundamentals (e.g. a well-formed PR is no longer a sign of …

    Want to email me steve@tldraw.com? We're looking at an issue with new accounts today on tldraw.com but it sounds different from what you're describing.

    I'd like to do self-serve pricing like that, maybe we will in the future, but I don't think there are as many teams as you think where the difference would be a deciding factor. Wh…

    I think we’ll do extended trials for small teams if they’re pre-revenue / pre-funding, and I can imagine setting up some relationships like that with incubators etc. A few other po…

    We support iPad about as good as we can, with stylus pressure and some tricks to avoid slowdowns due to the high input rate. I actually did the ink in Excalidraw too, so it at leas…

    You can stay on 3.x. The license on 3.x shows a watermark and a license key will hide it. New commercial licenses will still work for 3.x too, in case you’re unable to upgrade, tho…

    Small teams are so hard to price for. When we first launched we had a non-commercial license and I was spending forever negotiating these tiny deals with teams where that was alrea…

    Thanks! Granular permissions are a common feature request, especially in education, so there’s a good chance we work on that this quarter.

    Sorry for the logins around collaboration. I really liked the open collaboration feature too but we were getting some sketchy user behavior around it and my nerve broke. You can st…
