Build collaborative applications with Yjs

Yjs is a popular technology (CRDT) for building collaborative applications.

In this tutorial, we’ll cover:

• Yjs / CRDT data structures introduction
  • How should we represent data in a CRDT
  • Observing data
  • Common pitfalls
• Syncing data with other clients using “providers”
  • Using a standard websocket provider (setting up a backend, auth*, init of content)
  • Using one of the p2p or e2e providers
• Integration of Yjs with other technologies: Editors (ProseMirror, Quill), Drawing Tools (TLDraw), Jupyter Notebooks, React
