# tldraw: side quests

> the pursuits around the company — ruiz's pre-tldraw libraries, the demos and experiments, and the community projects the canvas attracted.

- 2019–2021 — [state-designer](https://github.com/steveruizok/state-designer) (steve, ended): state-designer — ruiz's statecharts state-management library with its own visual ide. the arrow-routing work inside it spawned perfect-arrows; the ide instinct — a tool that shows you the system — is the direct ancestor of tldraw. (sources: [statecharts state management + visual ide](https://github.com/steveruizok/state-designer), [profile: founder & ceo, london](https://github.com/steveruizok), [3 years and $5m building the perfect canvas](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steve-ruiz-is-the-canvas-the-future-for-ai/id1686414242?i=1000739130415))
- 2020– — [perfect-arrows](https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-arrows) (steve, continuing): perfect-arrows — the hand-drawn-look arrow-routing library, launched via july 2020 tweet threads and now ~2.8k stars. it ships inside tldraw itself: the library that outlived the app it was built for. (sources: [profile: founder & ceo, london](https://github.com/steveruizok), [statecharts state management + visual ide](https://github.com/steveruizok/state-designer), [3 years and $5m building the perfect canvas](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steve-ruiz-is-the-canvas-the-future-for-ai/id1686414242?i=1000739130415))
- 2020– — [perfect-freehand](https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand) (steve, continuing): perfect-freehand — pressure-sensitive freehand ink as a library. adopted by excalidraw ('christopher had me implement in excalidraw'), reportedly also next.js live, milanote, and clover — the first proof that ruiz's canvas taste could be sold as a component rather than an app. (sources: [profile: founder & ceo, london](https://github.com/steveruizok), [worlds fair talk](https://ai.engineer/talks/1C2TdPkj6aQ-tldraw-computer), [accidental ai canvas](https://www.latent.space/p/tldraw))

- 2021–2023 — the vs code extension (company, ended): the vs code extension — a tldraw editor inside the editor, already shipping at the november 2021 launch. it rode the v1 codebase and was left behind by the v2 rewrite. (sources: [launch hn thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29261733), [released ~two weeks ago](https://www.bram.us/2021/11/29/tldraw-a-tiny-little-drawing-app/), [nov 2021 monorepo snapshot: packages/tldraw, core, apps/www, vscode, electron](https://archive.org/details/github.com-tldraw-tldraw_-_2021-11-21_12-42-41))
- 2022–2023 — the v2 rewrite (company, handed-off): the v2 rewrite — the 'new tldraw' beta announced with the seed round, replacing the app at tldraw.com in april 2023. v1 was parked at old.tldraw.com 'until the end of time' and later moved to tldraw/tldraw-v1 under mit — the permanence promise that anchors the license argument.

- 2023– — [make real](https://github.com/tldraw/make-real) (company, continuing): make real — the flagship demo lineage. forked from sawyer hood's draw-a-ui the morning after it hit, shipped in a night, packaged as make-real-starter days later. still the reference story for 'the canvas is dom'; by 2026 ruiz was calling it 'quaint' on stage. (sources: [fork of draw-a-ui](https://github.com/tldraw/make-real), [full make real chronology](https://tldraw.substack.com/p/make-real-the-story-so-far), [full make real story talk](https://gitnation.com/contents/make-real-tldraws-ai-adventure), [ruiz talk: make real quaint in 2026](https://ai.engineer/talks/agents-on-the-canvas-in-tldraw))

- 2024 — teach (company, ended): teach — the summer-2024 project where an agent learns to manipulate the canvas, built by ruiz, wilson, and engineer-in-residence orion reed. the research thread between make real's generation tricks and tldraw computer's workflows. (sources: [reed: engineer-in-residence at tldraw, block science](https://blog.vaporware.network/podcasts/episode-5-orion-reed/), [agents on the canvas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpVs1U7pMA0), [max drake on agent history incl](https://gitnation.com/contents/agents-on-the-canvas-with-tldraw))

- 2024-12–2025 — [tldraw computer](https://computer.tldraw.com/) (company, ended): tldraw computer — natural-language node-and-wire workflows on the canvas, built with google / google deepmind for the gemini 2.0 window. waitlist december 13, open december 18; the company's biggest hn thread ever (553 points). deliberately closed source — issue #5122 points users to the starter kits instead. (sources: [launch post text: connected components, natural-language instructions, branch/loop](https://couchsky.app/u/tldraw.com/p/3ldlnkynejg24), [tldraw computer — natural-language workflows on canvas](https://computer.tldraw.com/), [google/gemini partnership showcase](https://ai.google.dev/showcase/tldraw), [biggest tldraw hn thread — 553 pts, 120 comments](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42469074), [team: computer stays closed-source](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/5122), [google gemini api showcase of tldraw computer (via vuink mirror)](https://vuink.com/post/nv-d-dtbbtyr-d-dqri/showcase/tldraw))
