I understand every startup wants to have a killer feature which creates unique selling proposition, but this seems like something that probably took way too much effort and wasn't really demanded. But this is only my assumption.
- TkTech 3y agoCollaborative UXs are much easier to "get right" then they used to be. There are a great many libraries to help like yjs. We added it to a prosemirror based block editor, including polish like multiple cursors and fun things like that, in less than a week.
- cynicalsecurity 3y agoAwesome! Thanks for the insight.
- tmcw 3y agoThat's a fair assumption. There were some customers who benefited from real-time editing, but it was a big tech bet and led to a design that was harder to scale for larger datasets.
