    SponsorstldrawHave you ever wanted to build an app that works kinda like Miro or Figma, that has a zoomable infinite canvas, that’s multiplayer, and really good, but you also want to build it in React with normal React components on the canvas? Good news! tldraw is the world’s first, best, and only SDK for building infinite canvas apps in React. tldraw takes care of all the canvas complexities — things like the camera, selection logic, and undo redo — so that you can focus on building the features that matter to your users. It’s easy to use with plenty of examples and starter kits, including a kit where you can use AI to create things on the canvas. Get started for free at tldraw.dev/shoptalk, or run npm create tldraw to spin up a starter kit.
