Animations are just diff replays: tldraw flash lets you drag shapes mid-animation
max__drake · x · 2026-09-05
tldraw's @maxdrake explains how playback works: when flash plays back an animation, it just replays the recorded diffs one after another, making animations totally agnostic of a shape's starting position or state.
That means the starting state can be changed freely—you can drag shapes that are already animated, even in the middle of a clip.
