tldraw VS perfect-freehand

You might want to check out tldraw - project to render react on canvas and whiteboard application built on it. And subscribe to Steve Ruiz as he writes about such (and more complex freehand) drawings.

tldraw.com — Free open source white-boarding and diagramming tool with features such as smart arrows, snapping, sticky notes, and SVG export. Multiplayer mode for collaborative editing. Free official VS Code extension available as well.

I especially like tldraw.com; which is a simple (opensource) whiteboard where you can copy-paste/move/resize images. It’s perfect. Except that…. You cannot (at least, for now) attach datas to those images (like a link). I’ve been told that it should support videos soon, but that’s not the case for now.

The library Canva use for drawing lines may be of interest: https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Sorry to hijack this post, but I do habe a similar problem especially regarding the options for smoothing and streamline options. I think those features give me an annoying delay when drawing so I want to tweak them. If Im not mistaken excalidraw is based on perfect freehand and Changing those settings in their web app helps with input delay. Unfortunately these options are not documented in excalidraw (not even in those Videos) and i cant figure out what to change to affect these options. Any tips?

It's all in the title. I've been trying to find an answer for hours now. I want the program to be able to recognise the pressure applied and produce a stroke using that info, kinda like perfect freehand but with python. Can anyone help?

Hi everyone. This is a component for drawing perfect pressure-sensitive freehand lines using perfect-freehand and Skia renderer. It's my first published RN module.

No drawings are made with SVG. Under the hood, I used this library https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Thanks! For the pressure sensitive lines, I’m using another open source library that I made called perfect-freehand: https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand

Yep, I'm a big fan of Excalidraw and am a contributor there too. I also re-implemented the pen tool in Excalidraw to use my digital ink library, perfect freehand (https://github.com/steveruizok/perfect-freehand), which is used extensively in tldraw.

tldraw is a separate project. The big difference is that Excalidraw renders to HTML canvas while tldraw renders to a regular DOM tree. There's a trade off: canvas can have better performance on some machines, while my approach with tldraw makes it easier to implement more complex embedded content. I wouldn't expect any changes, so use whichever you prefer!
