terminaldraw

terminaldraw is built on tldraw extended with terminal emulators on the canvas.

Inspiration

terminaldraw was inspired by the CLI in kavla.dev and the idea of combining a canvas with terminal-driven workflows. This repository is a separate localhost only project to explore this further.

How it works

Each terminal shape is backed by a real PTY session on the user's machine:

• the React app runs on http://localhost:5173
• a local bridge runs on http://localhost:4317
• terminal rendering is handled by xterm.js
• shell execution is handled by node-pty
• deleting a terminal shape kills the PTY session
• the canvas state persists in localstorage

Running

npm install && npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173/ in your browser.
