There are a lot of tools that can be used to make a collaborative whiteboard. Figma, which closed a deal to be acquired by Adobe for $20 billion in September, has FigJam, while Apple has released the Freeform app for its users. Users can use a collaborative canvas without having to log in.
From the first time you use it, it is very easy to use. It is a blank canvas that can be used to draw lines, write text, and insert media.
You can easily share this board with your coworkers through a link. You can share a read only link if you don't want anyone to change the board. The document can be shared with multiple contributors and in a read only mode.
There is a version of TLDraw that is in the early stages of development.
More features can be found in the new version of the website. It has more options for drawing such as shape, color, and line, as well as the ability to insert new objects such as a frame or a sticky note.
You don't have to have an account to use these features. Since this is on the internet, you and your colleagues can easily use it.
The project was launched as an open-source project. His other open-source projects include perfect-freehand and globs.design.
After making these projects, I wanted to create something new that was more "shape", that would allow me to put any shape on the canvas. The TLDraw content got very popular fast because I was building all of this in public.

Amplify Partners, Vercel, and NP-Hard were involved in the seed round of TLraw. Other investors in the round were Soleio, Badrul Farooqi, Michael Stoppelman, Tom Preston-Werner, Adam Wiggins of Muse, Brian Lovin of Campsite, David Khourashid of Stately.ai, and Johannes.
The company, which has five full-time employees, doesn't make a dime from its work. Licensing and support are going to be a priority for the startup. The team may have features behind a paywall.
The company also offers developer tools to integrate its canvas. It's called Whiteboard as a service.
He wanted to provide a platform for anyone to build on collaborative canvases with all the basic tools available to them.
The current set of whiteboard applications assumes that if you are working on an infinite canvas you are working on just visual components. We wanted to give importance to all formats.
Existing tools are hard to modify for a company's own needs, according to the startup founder. Teams can get a strong starting point with the help of TLDraw.

“There are hundreds of little features — selection, resizing, rotating, dragging a shape between different parents, even undo and redo — where the solution is both very mathematically complex and very subjective at the same time. The right implementation is the one that ‘feels right,’ and that can be a very frustrating target to hit,” Ruiz added.There are a lot of projects that are using TLDraw. There are web-based drawing apps like MacPaint and OkSo, as well as developers who use it to make useful story-building tools such as WorldAnvil.
The company is working towards open-sourced the new version of the website, along with moving all collaborative versions and the visual studio code plug-in to it. The startup plans to add more features based on feedback from the community.
