• Edit This Blog Post

  Absolutely! The real complexity comes from conflict resolution. If someone edits the top, and someone else edits the bottom, which version do you go with? What if they're editing the same area? Entire companies exist to provide elegant solutions to this[0], so it's no simple task. 0: https://liveblocks.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How would I adjust this gradient animation?

  For the following example, I want the gradient color to flow from "Hello World" to the "Circle", so they are synchros and match the colors. I created this snippet but I'm having trouble with the rest. https://play.tailwindcss.com/accHTivCcx. Another example would be the https://liveblocks.io/'s title, which flows through the colors in the gradient. How would I achieve this? Source: 12 months ago

• CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA

  Very cool use case for CRDTs! I've seen a bunch of different use cases from other products like https://liveblocks.io/ and https://electric-sql.com/. It's interesting how CRDTs are now taking hold so much for all these collaborative syncing scenarios. Wonder what's driving the proliferation now given they've been around for awhile? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Building a multiplayer, offline-capable app in 2022 (like Figma, Linear)

  Hi Tim, I'm a bit biased but https://liveblocks.io is great for that :) If you know how to use React, that's pretty much all you need to know. It also includes some nice hooks to enable things like multiplayer undo/redo and live cursors. The team even put a couple of interactive blog posts about that that you might find interesting:. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Collaborative event registration with WebGL and WebSockets

  Really impressive experience! Great work Next.js! Love the work 0xcaOa did with Three.js to create this multiplayer light effect. Glad to see https://liveblocks.io was able to help them prototype this out to get a feel for that experience. And… it’s great to see the web become a place where people can hang out and feel like they’re together in the same space! - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• 10 Years of Meteor: My experience with a pioneering JavaScript framework

  Wow, Sacha! 10 years already. Meteor was one of the first Javascript frameworks which gave me joy. Maybe the closest to that today is Imba. Realtime all the time was performance heavy for sure but so much fun. I recently saw https://liveblocks.io/ which is trying to do realtime primitives for the wave. Discover Meteor was one of the first "modern" programming framework books I bought and I still remember the book... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Currently learning React but need to commit to a framework for a school project in the next couple of days. Can someone answer a simple question?

  Hi, React itself doesn't include any kind of real-time capabilities. React is only the UI layer. You will have to implement some kind of real-time functionality server-side (for example using WebSockets or WebRTC). The React app itself will have to connect to the server and is just going to display the data. Personally I would use express.js with socket.io on the server and just a create-react-app on the client... Source: about 2 years ago

• How to add live cursors to your product with Next.js and Liveblocks using the public key API.

  Almost everyone loves real-time collaborating tools especially developers. Take the Figma real-time indication of viewers' cursor for example. When on a Figma design board, you can see exactly where other viewers are. It’s awesome, right? I bet we all love it. This real-time feature/experience is exactly what Liveblocks provides. With Liveblocks, we don’t have to use WebSockets directly or use the popular ... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
