I'd appreciate if you didn't consider Firefox Relay emails as disposable email. The Firefox folks specifically have tried to make Relay anti-abuse. It's an unkind thing to do to your prospective users. From Bleeping computer's coverage the last time someone tried to dump Relay in with a disposable email blocklist: > Back in November 2021, Firefox Relay's team lead had requested the maintainer of a separate burner ema…

Oh sorry, that's a toggle in Clerk (our auth provider), it doesn't provide granularity around which are disposable and which aren't. I'll take a look and see whether there's anything I can do short of turning off that feature.

Thank you! Appreciate the transparency. It's helpful to know it originates elsewhere.

I ended up at Tldraw's London office a few weeks ago for a thing, and I remember afterwards being like 'ahh, now I understand how they end up just casually doing random cool shit and attracting the kind of talent they do'. They should be extremely proud of the culture they've managed to foster and I genuinely hope to see them succeed as a business.

Very much this! I was also at a thing at their office a few weeks ago (some thing? "Local Thirst"), and Steve gave a demo of this. It is incredible. I've joked before that the last generation of human machine interfaces ware invented at Xerox park, and the next generation is being invented at TLDraw of Finsbury Park. But it's not really a joke, I genuinely believe it.

I agree. Looking at this, it seems to be exactly how I want to use LLMs. Describe a small transformation of data I don't want to work out now, connect it to other components. As the needs become more-defined, replace each part with a faster, more-reliable, well-defined data transformation. I could actually see developing a system this way...

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.

And ("vanilla") tldraw supports subpixel font rendering, unlike most of their competition (for example excalidraw or Miro).

How?

Steve, I'd like to know if I can use the SDK to build workflow/process diagrams that specify inputs, outputs, and side effects (ie, this process creates a pile of logs or documentation) and then export a process specification for use in another application. My specific use case is process mapping and quality systems implementation in a hardware engineering setting.

That sounds really useful. There's no export yet here apart from images and it isn't something I've thought about much so far. Are there standard formats for these types of workflows?

No industry standard format that I know of. I presume I'll have to come up with my own (some kind of typed JSON, probably).

At the end of the line these are just function definitions -- a black box that takes well defined inputs and produces well defined outputs, as well as calling out side-effects (I suppose these could just be more outputs).

We actually intentionally round it to the nearest pixel in excalidraw because otherwise the font tends to be blurry. We may want to reconsider.

Isn’t it just DOM translated?

This is such a cool toy!

I'm curious how the internal prompting works in certain cases, and whether there's any way to customize a particular module's default or hidden prompt. Particularly with speech. I was trying to get it to sing a made-up Christmas carol, with generate lyrics and chords. I tried a bunch of different ways, but at best the speech module would only read it out. In one funny case, the speech module added on its own beforehand: "a spoken-word piece".

I made a "Cuisine Synthesizer". [Edit: Updated to "Fusion Food Truck Simulator"]. I love how easy this was to snap together! https://computer.tldraw.com/p/m15giebhYxD6RfWmho7R5J

Oof, source available, that is an oversight on my end. Or was there a recent license change? Off the shortlist then, unfortunately.

Yep, license change from Apache 2.0 in December 2023.

Have any forks from the FOSS version picked up any traction?
