A lot is changing with AI. It’s been confusing, and slightly overwhelming, for me to get a grip on what’s changing, and what it all means for me personally, for my job, and for humanity.

tldraw is canvas software that runs on your browser (like MS Paint, excalidraw etc). This project caught my attention when I saw demos of fun AI experiments with the canvas interface1. Even the plain canvas software without the experimental AI frills is delightful to use—it’s become the default thing I reach for when I want to create diagrams, sketch out an idea or make a presentation.| nilenso blog
