Building a Real-Time Multiplayer Reactions Component
summary
Builds a React component that broadcasts a four-emoji set over Liveblocks websockets using useBroadcastEvent and useEventListener, rendering local and remote reactions separately and cleaning out items older than 2s lifetime via a timestamped setInterval. Adds accessibility with an ARIA live region that announces summarized counts instead of spamming screen readers, CSS keyframe motion (2s animation), randomized timing and angle for organic feel, Tailwind for styles, and demonstrates the system scaling to multiple clients in real time.
