In June 2025, Elstob developed a configurable autoplay feature for the VideoShapeUtil component in the tldraw/tldraw repository. By introducing a boolean property to control video playback, Elstob addressed the issue of multiple videos autoplaying simultaneously, which previously led to unpredictable user experiences and unnecessary bandwidth consumption. The solution was implemented using React and TypeScript, leveraging component design patterns and boolean-flag based configuration. While the work focused on a single feature rather than bug fixes, it demonstrated a thoughtful approach to API scalability and user control. The depth of the implementation provided a more predictable and efficient video playback environment.
