I've built a new personal website! → chrisnicholas.dev/blog/a-new-blo…

@SarvaiyaGitesh @claudeai @liveblocks @vercel @Polymarket @Twitch Love all the realtime!

I replaced humans with AI. And somehow debates got better. Built a live collaborative AI Debate Arena this weekend with @claudeai using @liveblocks Deployed on @vercel People watch. Vote. Bet And Win. @Polymarket × @Twitch for AI debates. Try it: ai-debate-battle.vercel.app

Liveblocks Storage and Yjs just got better. • Support for larger documents, preventing out of memory crashes. • Quicker initial load times, especially for sizable documents. • Higher limits and lower overhead. The best thing—you're upgraded already! lblcks.io/mwR3hmy

8-bit @liveblocks realtime presence 👾

@levaillantp @liveblocks Damn, so cool!

@matiNotFound @v0 @threejs @liveblocks Very nice 👀

Creating a multiplayer game on @v0 using @threejs and @liveblocks Models/textures/tracks/environments/physics, everything is being created by v0. The key part was asking v0 to create automation scripts to export logs/screenshots so it can iterate on its own.

@Rockarmy321 @liveblocks Happy to help! Awesome.

@ctnicholasdev @liveblocks Thanks for all the help! I've been looking through the liveblocks docs and the YouTube tutorials (they're a bit outdated, but they still work fine!), already gotten to work!

I'm creating docDuo, a basic site that allows multiple users to collaboratively create and edit documents in realtime. Now the problem is, do I write the websocket logic on the backend by myself, or use the free tier of something like @liveblocks to speed up production?

Add commenting to your @ag_grid cells! I've set up a demo & guide showing how to do this in 5 mins using new Liveblocks comments components. Add in our notification components, and you get a full in-app inbox, email notifications about missed comments, and more. Learn more ↓

@DanielWhit21874 @liveblocks Thank you!

@ctnicholasdev @liveblocks You have been cooking Chris

We've just released new React components! Build a collaborative app with @liveblocks using customisable avatar stack, cursors, and commenting components. We've written a blog post that takes you through what they are, and how to use them. Link ↓

@Rockarmy321 @liveblocks Good choice! We generally recommend Tiptap at Liveblocks, it's a good all-round editor.

@ctnicholasdev @liveblocks I think I'll go the simpler route for now with liveblocks' libraries, then tiptap for the text editor. I've seen that they integrate very nicely

Integrate presence and contextual commenting in 5 minutes. We've released new React components, making it even quicker to build your collaborative app. Add realtime cursors, live avatars, and use new pinned comments in canvases or table libraries like @ag_grid. Blog post ↓

Shout-out to @marcbouchenoire for building these tidy components!

@liveblocks @Rippling Great Liveblocks implementation @Rippling team! Love it.

If collaboration happens outside your product, you lose your most valuable data. Docs, notes, Slack threads. @Rippling built a collaborative product so that 1:1 meeting content lives inside their platform. Liveblocks powers their realtime collaboration. lblcks.io/blog-rippling

@SPabolu Yes!

@ctnicholasdev Is it standareschema compatible?

Zod isn't the only option. Our team uses decoders, built by the wonderful @nvie. We find it's: • Easier to read, as it looks like TypeScript. • Quicker to debug, with its human-readable error messages. • Lighter to ship, with tree-shaking and smaller bundles. Get it ↓

@mayvencraft Love that hover effect! Dark mode to match Vercel vibes 👌

shipped 👀 mayven . computer 🪶

@_mandava @nvie We've actually used decoders since the start at @liveblocks! It's not a new project.

@ctnicholasdev @nvie What made you switch from zod?

@dobroslav_dev @nvie Yes! Standard schema compliant.

@ctnicholasdev @nvie Does it support standard schema?
