Release Notes – January 18th 2024

Hey, happy new year!

The source code for tldraw.com is now available in our public repo. And we’ve been filling it with plenty of new features and fixes. Here they are.

What’s new

Arrow scooting. You can now move your arrows around without disconnecting them.

Edge scrolling. Drag your shapes to the edge of the screen to nudge the camera along.

You can also edge scroll while selecting, resizing, framing, and more.

Improvements

We have a looser font now. We made it more wobbly so that it matches our freehand ink better.

We have a new dark mode theme too. We made the background darker. And we gave the colors some more pop.

Also, image uploads are now faster thanks to some sneaky optimisations.

And we added community translations for Czech and Hungarian. We also updated our translations for German, Korean, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish and Chinese.
