59 // Infinite Canvases with Steve Ruiz

A new foundational document type is on the rise: the so-called infinite canvas. Steve is the creator of tldraw, an open-source canvas toolkit. He joins Mark and Adam to discuss why the canvas might be the ultimate fully-generalized form of all digital documents; why “infinite” refers to openness and possibility rather than just available space; and why canvases create a sense of place that is suited to multiuser collaboration. Plus: smash that fork button and own this thing forever. @MuseAppHQ [email protected] Show notes Steve Ruiz @steveruizok tldraw MacPaint scene in Steve Jobs Movie perfect-freehand excalidraw direct manipulation Mural, Miro, FigJam Codemirror, Prosemirror AceEditor Github Sponsors Framer Model View Controller Framer Classic Play Illustrator Hypercard LegendKeeper, WorldAnvil HTML Canvas Desktop Metaphor
