I've built a new personal website!
→ chrisnicholas.dev/blog/a-new…
Set up your own Slack for free!
My open source demo features real-time messages, threads, reactions, DMs, notifications, statuses, and multiple workspaces.

It needs no database, and everything works on the @liveblocks free plan. Hook in your app's auth system, and you're good to go.

I've set up a multiplayer language learning app!
You can annotate PDFs, and everything updates in realtime with @liveblocks. Plus, talk to your student, or your AI assistant, which can generate documents for you!
It's free → lblcks.io/KURe1NG
I'm using tldraw for the annotations, a truly fantastic canvas.

Ever wondered how Figma keeps a shared list in the same order for everyone?
Regular arrays stop working when two people edit at once. Multiplayer tools, @liveblocks included, rely on a clever trick instead.
It's called fractional indexing ↓
You don't need to build any of this yourself. It's all baked into `LiveList`, the realtime array in @liveblocks Storage, ready for JavaScript and React.
Servers, connections, syncing, conflict resolution—handled for you. The issue tracker below runs on it.
@nvie and I turned this into an interactive deep-dive, with every demo from this thread and a few more. Have a play!

I've built an open-source Slack clone!
It has threaded messages, DMs, AI collaborators, activity feed, more! It's all powered by a single @liveblocks multiplayer primitive—feeds.

I was really inspired by @poteto's recent post and used this codebase as a testing ground for ideas in this video.
Very insightful.
here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production
this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly
