tldraw flash: animate hand-drawn ideas by performing motion live on the canvas
max__drake · x · 2026-09-10
The tldraw team is previewing tldraw flash, a new way to animate hand-drawn ideas on the infinite canvas.
- How it works: draw a shape, press record, then drag to perform the motion yourself — instead of keyframing. Clips can be trimmed on a timeline, exported, and remixed.
- Live session: a walkthrough of how flash works, how it was built on the tldraw SDK, a real animation built from scratch live, and a first look at unreleased features. No prior experience needed.
- Background: tldraw makes tldraw.com and the infinite canvas SDK used by ClickUp, Padlet, and Mobbin; London-founded, $14M+ raised, hiring.
