I did a bunch of work recently with Y.js and PartyKit and can confirm it made some of the most difficult parts a breeze. You should 100% try it out at least if it’s relevant to what you’re building.

I have been trying to solve a real-time sync problem for SiteGPT for months now. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work properly. Sunil solved my entire problem using PartyKit in around 10 lines of code 🤯 10 lines... and I am not even exaggerating 😅 PartyKit is awesome!!
