Hi everyone, Today, we’re excited to announce Liveblocks Yjs, a fully managed, highly scalable real‑time data store for building collaborative text editors such as Google Docs and Notion. Yjs is an open-source CRDT framework created by Kevin Jahns that has grown to be the preferred way for developers to build collaborative rich text editors. It comes with powerful features such as multiplayer undo/redo, lazy loading subdocuments, and offline support. And thanks to its incredible community, Yjs already has integrations with the most popular open-source text and code editor frameworks out there: Lexical, Tiptap, Slate, Quill, CodeMirror, Monaco, and more. The challenge though is that the decentralized nature of Yjs makes it difficult to scale for production applications. Since all updates get stored, Yjs documents tend to get big really fast. Plus, the raw Yjs data requires some heavy engineering lifting to be dealt with. That’s why we created Liveblocks Yjs, an advanced platform for building, hosting, and scaling rich text editors from development to production applications with millions of users. No configuration or maintenance required. We can’t wait to see what you create with this. The Liveblocks team and I will be around all day to answer questions! 🙂

Looks awesome and super useful. Love that it works with existing text frameworks. Congrats on the launch!

Using Liveblocks is such a no brainer at this point!

Absolutely massive deal for anyone building live features into their products. Combine that with a great developer experience out of the box and even a beginner can build the next Figma over the weekend - I have personally built some spectacular things with it that were simply impossible before due to taking too long - and I'm always happy when I get to build more with new fancy toys. Finally, an amazing team led by amazing @stevenfabre - can't wait what innovation you'll bring going forward, stay awesome and true to your goal <3

I think this is the best product for today. I wish to see in the first place 🥇

This looks awesome! Congrats on launching it, team. What's next on your roadmap for Yjs?

Excited to try this out, congrats on the launch @stevenfabre and team!

Congrats for launch 🎉

In a decentralized world, synchronization and collaboration are essential. Good luck with the launch, I love what the Liveblocks team is doing!

This is awesome. As someone who has worked on several products that involve live coediting, I can empathize with this challenge. Not to mention, it feels like live collab is table stakes in software these days. Amazing stuff!

Wow, this is awesome, Steven! I did experience a few scalability issues in collaborative apps, and Yjs sounds like a game-changer. Also love that it's fully managed and soooo developer-friendly. Congrats on the launch!

Making collaborative text editors so easy to build is going to change a lot of things for the next generation of products 💪

Congrats @stevenfabre and team Liveblocks!!

Congrats on the launch! This is awesome 🚀

This is great, next level simple. Congrats team! You continue to raise the bar 🤝

Congrats team !!

This is awesome - huge congrats, Steven and team 🚢

Super cool stuff, guys. This is gonna shake things up!

I'm truly excited about the new features that Liveblocks is rolling out. The real-time data stores specifically optimized for collaborative documents could be a real turning point for team workflow. I'm impressed by how practical the features have been designed to be - the offline-first approach and the collaborative document editing with conflict-free shared data types both demonstrate a deep understanding of real user needs. The anticipation around the incoming sub-documents feature has been exciting. The possibility of lazy loading multiple Yjs documents from the root is promising a much more fluid experience with real-time collaboration. Moreover, the multiplayer undo and redo provides an extra layer of flexibility, which can greatly improve the integrity and control in collaborative document editing. Overall, I'm finding Liveblocks to be a very promising platform. It's not just the specifics of these features, but the potential of this entire platform as a fully integrated collaboration toolkit that gets me excited. With its ability to smoothly embed collaborative experiences into products, I see a lot of potential for dynamic teamwork and quicker results. Great work, Liveblocks team! Looking forward to seeing what you will bring next.

Guess who's back, back again, Liveblock's back tell a friend! Fantastic work team, every release keeps making collaboration tooling easier and easier
