• 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 / about 1 year 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: almost 2 years 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.

• 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 / over 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 3 years ago
