Hi Hacker News,

My co-founder (Guillaume Salles) and I started making an online collaborative video presentation software. But instead of focusing on the core mechanics of the tool, we realized pretty quickly that we were spending a majority of our time figuring out how to handle real‑time collaboration.

A lot of questions had to be answered. What should happen when there are many people concurrently editing the same piece of data? Should all data even be handled the same way? What about people on slow connections? The list goes on.

We tried existing solutions, but none really stacked up for what we were trying to do. That’s when we decided to build our own. Liveblocks was born :)

We'll be around all day to answer any questions you have about Liveblocks — ask us anything!

Thanks, Steven
