#82I do some digital illustration, so maybe my perception is colored by a workflow that can't be generalized to others, but I am puzzled by it switching back to the arrow tool after drawing a shape. If I just drew a circle, I'm far more likely to draw another circle than select something.
Yup. One of the first things I noticed. I'd rather prefer it stays on the same tool.

#84Really nice app. So much finesse. Similar but seemingly simpler than the excellent https://excalidraw.com/ . Tiny thing: I think it would be clearer if the alt tags and menu items showed keyboard shortcuts as "[ctrl][G]" instead of "c t r l G".
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/issues/243
It also looks like that on Android Firefox.

#85Previous hackernews post indicates that this used to be SVG-rendered. It is currently Canvas-rendered. What made you switch to Canvas?

#86This is great - I have been looking for a simple diagraming tool that is source controllable and with a reasonably ergonomic user interface for a long time.
Thank you for making.

There is no link transparently talking about this.

Love this. One idea that I haven't seen implemented in other drawing tools: the default behavior after drawing a shape is to revert to the select tool. This is rational but it can also pull you out of flow if you're trying to diagram quickly. It'd be useful to extend the keyboard shortcuts to the select tool, so that when I highlight a region with select, I can press, e.g. 5, and have a circle automatically filled inside the selected region, so that I can bail myself out and not have to draw the same selection twice.
