A shared canvas inside the chat people already have

The problem

Whiteboards lose the conversation, and chats lose the drawing.

Who would pay for this?

Teams that already collaborate in a chat app and need a shared sketch.

How could it make money?

A possible model is freemium. That is an editorial guess from the shape of the launch, not a published price, and not evidence that tldraw uses it.

What would the MVP look like?

A canvas inside one chat surface, with two people on it at once.
