Anyone got experience with the real time collaboration and have feedback?
Why wouldn't real-time collaboration be useful?
How about real time collaborative tool? Like a simple text editor that multiple can edit at once. You could easily expand this if happened to solve it with time left over
You can use the open source etherpad it provides realtime collaborative document editing. There is also a version which providers webrtc based video support. Check it out once.
This is a hosted service that makes it much easier for you add multiplayer real-time collaboration (as seen in Google Docs and Figma) to your own web application.
This is already possible, try Etherpad.
Something like etherpad? https://etherpad.org/See https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/hello-hackernews for a real-time demo (works better with more people, I suppose!)
It would be great if it gets collaborative real time editting.
Is this any better than Google Docs which has real time multi-user text collaboration?
