Where tldraw appears to be heading

Tldraw appears to be significantly enhancing its collaborative functionalities while maintaining a steady focus on mobile and developer tools.

This suggests Tldraw is prioritizing collaboration features, likely aiming to strengthen its position in that market segment. The lack of new signals in developer tools and a slight decline in mobile indicates a potential shift in focus away from these areas.
