@jogibear9988

Enable multiple users to collaboratively edit the same document in real-time, similar to Figma’s multiplayer functionality. This will allow teams to work together seamlessly on UI designs, improving productivity and collaboration.

Key Features:

  • Live Cursor & Presence Indicators – Show where other users are working in real-time.
  • Conflict-Free Editing – Implement operational transformation (OT) or conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) to ensure smooth, simultaneous edits.
  • Commenting & Annotations – Allow users to leave feedback directly within the designer.
  • Multiple Document Support – Design a system that enables users to collaborate on multiple documents at once.
  • Backend Synchronization – Use WebSockets or WebRTC for low-latency updates and a seamless experience.
