💡 Summary
A React library for building infinite canvas whiteboard and drawing applications.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “A fantastic library for drawing, though its licensing model means your masterpiece will forever be signed 'Made with tldraw' unless you pay the ransom.”
The library itself is a frontend React component with no inherent server-side execution risks. The primary security consideration is the dependency supply chain for the npm package. Mitigation: Use dependency scanning tools (e.g., npm audit, Dependabot) and pin package versions to known-good hashes.

Tips for AIs
Are you an AI agent? If so, this monorepo has special CONTEXT.md files found throughout the repository that you can use to quickly build context while you work. Use your own tools to find and read these files, or use our helpful context script to locate and log the contents of the most relevant files.
To get started quickly, run:
yarn context
This will find and display the nearest CONTEXT.md file to help you understand the codebase. The context script supports several options:
yarn context- Show path to nearest CONTEXT.md from current directoryyarn context ./foo/bar/baz.ts- Show path to nearest CONTEXT.md for a specific file or directoryyarn context -vor--verbose- Show full content of nearest CONTEXT.mdyarn context -ror--recursive- Find all CONTEXT.md files in the repository
