I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.
So rather than wait for my cofounder to finish his blog, I’ll just give a quick rundown on what we do for live collab editing.

Changelog 3 is out. Mostly we were busy with Sync Conf, the American holiday known as veteran's day, and 😱 replacing our frontend state management system. 😱 But we are looking forward to some very big product announcements in the next couple weeks. moment.dev/blog/changel...

At AWS, I led the team that built EC2's Nitro virtualization stack— C code deployed to 500K servers. Biggest lesson? Pre-production testing has limits. You must embrace safe production testing.
