Even "vanilla" tldraw is super cool as a clean, functional, open-source html5 whiteboard, and the team have absolutely been killing it in their comms and use of LLMs. I honestly think they might be some of the most innovative people around when it comes to really novel UI for LLMs. Also, Todepond is just very cool.

does the cloud product’s “new project” button still trash your saved documents with one click behind a docstring something like “make sure you have saved your stuff before making a new project” where what they meant is “our cloud product does not save your projects to the cloud, it is in local storage actually and you can only have one project at a time so the new project button actually overwrites your old one, so w…

File > New Shared Project -- and your problem is solved. Remember to bookmark your work, since there is no login/account/automatic storage.

TLDraw is fascinating, but I feel like when I see them tweet cool stuff it isn’t actually in the app. This is likely me being dumb but since it happened a couple times now whenever I see their posts I assume the same.

Hey there! Thanks for mentioning Heuristica. I would love to find out how to make the free plan for Heuristica to be more permissive (without destroying the incentive to subscribe for willing users). Feel free to send me your suggestions. At one point, I also worked on making it work with a personal API key. However, this added a lot of complexity. It felt like I was building and maintaining two separate branches of…

Hey! To be honest, I am not sure my feedback would be very valuable. I'm probably your worst type of user -- perma free plan -- simply because I'd only use your tool sporadically. I don't do literature reviews that often, but often enough to think about using a tool like this I suppose. I totally get it though, it's a difficult thing to balance. If I was doing lit review and deep research daily 6.99 is an amazing dea…

I am still happy to hear from a fellow user! Feel free to ping me if you ever have feature recommendations or suggestions.

THIS is it. I have been using tldraw with one of my friends or even generally when my whiteboard marker goes down and I wish to draw. Seriously tldraw makes sharing whiteboards so easier as compared to excalidraw and others. TLDRAW deserves more attention than excalidraw and I watched its demo video and holy moly , this is so crazy , the fact that this can create semi websites and etc. feels so cool , definitely goin…

Excalidraw is free & open source software though, which IMO makes it deserve more attention

I want to use Tldraw as a simpler alternative to Figma. I want to drag and drop Web Components (or React components) into the canvas to play around with different UI ideas. Maybe a built in library of Shadcn components I could mock up an UI with.

I was thinking of developing something similar, but it ended up being one of the thousands of ideas that never end with a line of code. I'm glad to see it here.

Visual programming is a tempting idea I love. It rarely works, but this might be the case.

I think there is a lot of room for AI UIs - between chats (the simplest and most prevalent) and arbitrary code (even if it is "just API calls", it is only people with at least some software inclination).

One thing I am keeping track of is WordWare (https://www.wordware.ai/), which makes it easy to create a sequence of operations. It feels like an "Excel formulas of AI".

Yet, I like the visual, graph-based approach of Tldraw.

I'm new to this and maybe a bit dense.

Is the magic here making a flow chart / workflow where sample data is generated to make it easier to visualize and you can update and see the results?
