Everything's Better With Friends (how to build collaborative applications)
summary
Claims that multiplayer apps are now practical using Cloudflare Durable Objects and open libraries (Yjs), a demo deploys a TL Draw editor via party kit to the edge and works live with the audience, synchronizing rooms across replicas with 8 lines of code. Deployment and tooling run locally then push globally, logs and previews included. Latency sits around 5–15 ms to nearby isolates, and the repository is made public during the demo.
