TL Draw: A Hackable Whiteboard Engine for Creativity

TL Draw is a company that started as an open-source project for building a hackable whiteboard-like engine. It offers an infinite canvas where users can zoom in and out and move around similar to platforms like Figma or Miro. The popularity of this idea led to the creation of TL Draw as a company, which has spent the last two years developing an SDK for building whiteboards and whiteboard-like products. TL Draw allows for various use cases, such as working with data, adding annotations, or creating new prompts based on previous inputs. The unique feature of TL Draw is its ability to generate working websites based on drawings, text, or screenshots, using language models like OpenAI's GPT-4. TL Draw aims to become a versatile tool for developers, empowering them to create a wide range of applications and technical outputs.
