Overview
Liveblocks is a developer-first platform specifically designed for building collaborative applications like Figma, Notion, or Google Docs. It provides real-time infrastructure as a service, handling presence (who's online), broadcasting (sharing cursor positions), and conflict-free data synchronization. What makes Liveblocks unique is its purpose-built approach to collaboration - it includes primitives specifically for multiplayer experiences: cursors, comments, notifications, and shared state management. The platform integrates deeply with React, providing hooks and components that make building collaborative features straightforward. Liveblocks handles the complex parts of realtime collaboration: conflict resolution with CRDTs, optimistic updates, offline support, and undo/redo functionality. Unlike general-purpose BaaS platforms, every feature is designed for collaborative experiences. Perfect for building design tools, document editors, project management apps, whiteboards, and any application where multiple users interact with shared data simultaneously.
