The next generation of SaaS products are all going to be real‑time collaborative. But building one is waaaay to hard! Liveblocks makes it so much simpler it's unreal: https://liveblocks.io 🔥 Pumped to be an investor!

Liveblocks enabled us to add real‑time presence to our application in hours instead of weeks and we don’t have to worry about maintenance. This is a no‑brainer for anyone building collaborative experiences.

Finally got my hands on the @liveblocks beta this weekend and I added real‑time multiplayer to my personal website. Real-time-experiences-as-a-service = magical ✨ Check it out: https://brianlovin.com

The team at @liveblocks is killing it with their undo/redo API. I feel seen 😌

Liveblocks is our temporary frontline data store for real‑time collaboration. The persisted data is synced on our database to have full control over the security. With Liveblocks, the app is fast and really smooth. When we released Liveblocks multiplayer we got more conversions that’we ever gotten in any given week.

I think a big impact for us as a very small startup is the ability to pivot quickly between some different ideas until we found this one that we’re really excited about. Just having the opportunity to basically pick up off-the-shelf live, real-time data integration is huge. As a small team that needs to move fast and focus on a lot of different things, it’s an accelerator to get us into this product space that we normally might not have been able to access, because we would have been too bogged down on the technical work of making the real time data work in it.

This is a gamechanger 🤩 Until today, the infra behind live collaboration used to be something that could only be built by massive engineering teams at Google, Figma etc. But with @Liveblocks, _any_ engineer can build a world-class real‑time tool in just a few lines of code ✨

This Liveblocks tool is cool! I tried the exact same thing with Firebase and after four hours, I got so angry that I gave up!

Liveblocks is such a good idea! I've written collaborative editing logic and I'd much rather never have to write it again 😄 definitely going to use this next time.

I want to say a huge thank you to the team over at @liveblocks for having helped me during integration and for helping the entire Fari community with opportunity to have the best online TTRPG experience there is.

I’m so impressed with @liveblocks; when @stevenfabre suggested the idea of a demo that lets you play music together, I was feeling quite sceptical. What about the delay? I went ahead, built the demo, and amazingly, Liveblocks is so quick you can actually make music together 👌

I’ve often been reluctant to rely on outside services, but Liveblocks’ team has been super helpful in terms of tracking stuff down that’s going wrong or offering some advice on how to structure things. They helped us with that transition over to the API, which took about a month.
