👥 Global Collaboration: Enter your username and instantly join the collaborative workspace. There's no limit to the number of users, enabling effortless collaboration with anyone, anywhere.

🌐 Real-Time Updates: Witness changes as they happen with real-time synchronization, ensuring everyone stays on the same page, literally.

Architecturally, client-side code communicates via WebSocket with a central server that stores in-memory data structures. This makes the editor very fast, allows us to avoid provisioning a database, and makes testing much easier. The tradeoff is that documents are transient and lost between server restarts
