A collaborative document editing platform built with WebSockets, allowing multiple users to edit the same document simultaneously. It features live cursor positions and text selections for each user, with conflict-free editing and real time synchronization.
Collaboration is a core feature of modern productivity tools. I built this project to explore how WebSockets works and how an application like Google Docs functions behind the scenes.
