| Really impressive experience! Great work Next.js!
|
| Love the work 0xcaOa did with Three.js to create this multiplayer
| light effect. Glad to see https://liveblocks.io was able to help
| them prototype this out to get a feel for that experience.
|
| And... it's great to see the web become a place where people can
| hang out and feel like they're together in the same space!

| Hi all, if you login with Github on desktop, you'll see a
| multiplayer experience built with https://replicache.dev and
| webgl.
|
| I can't answer questions about the (absurdly epic) webgl stuff.
| That's https://twitter.com/0xca0a.
|
| But happy to answer questions about the multiplayer.
|
| As an overview, this uses an upcoming version of Replicache that
| has been upgraded to support high rate collaborative experiences.
| The current client-side only version of Replicache can manage
| about 4-5 updates / second, depending on your server setup, or
| maybe 10 if you spend a lot of time tuning it.
|
| In this upcoming version, we are offering our own server for
| Replicache, based on Cloudflare's durable object technology. We
| are getting about 40 updates per second now, but our goal is
| 60fps.
|
| We have been really happy building on Cloudflare, and think
| durable objects in particular are a super unique and valuable
| tool. Not useful for every situation, but there's nothing else
| really like it on the market and when you need it you really need
| it.
