    Yboard is a multiplayer desktop-like workspace based on Yjs

  • yjs

    Shared data types for building collaborative software

    I've always been curious about real-time multiplayer user interfaces.

    When I found out about CRDTs and Yjs[1] I thought they could serve as a solid base for a project like that.

    So I built this pretty simple desktop-like UI (heavily inspired by lifeat.io) and used Yjs to replicate the whole UI state among multiple peers, creating the experience of a unique interface.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • y-webrtc

    WebRTC Connector for Yjs

    Haven't tried with this specific project, but Yjs has a WebRtcProvider [0] which could be used where the project now uses WebsocketProvider [1].

    Yjs is built to allow you to switch easily between providers so it shouldn't be too much trouble to make the change.
