Show HN: Yboard is a multiplayer desktop-like workspace based on CRDT

I've always been curious about real-time multiplayer user interfaces.

When I found out about CRDTs and Yjs[1] I thought they could serve as a solid base for a project like that.

So I built this pretty simple desktop-like UI (heavily inspired by lifeat.io) and used Yjs to replicate the whole UI state among multiple peers, creating the experience of a unique interface.

This looks really fun, modern incarnation of Google Wave. Made a test room here: https://yboard.lol/lobby?join=hackernews

Great stuff!

Same here.

Why is the talk around CRDTs all about collaborative editing, and less about the more mundane but much more common scenario of multi-master CRUD apps?
