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?

Get started for free at tldraw.dev/shoptalk, or run npm create tldraw to spin up a starter kit.
