Integrate presence and contextual commenting in 5 minutes.
We've released new React components, making it even quicker to build your collaborative app. Add realtime cursors, live avatars, and use new pinned comments in canvases or table libraries like ag-grid.com

I'm honored. (love the Frankie pfp)
Yay!! Thank you Stacy, can't wait 🫶

My plan for today: announce that we're open sourcing the Liveblocks server! 🎉
The internet's plan for today: continvoucly morging my mentions 😂
Anyway, here's what I actually wanted to share today:
A ticket for One Battle After Another at 8:30am, in IMAX 70mm.
The things I do for PTA (can't wait)
Our components will have this out-of-the-box, but we’ll also look into releasing it as a standalone package. 👀
We’re exploring ways to improve how Markdown is rendered in our components during streaming.
• Complete partial syntax when possible (bold, links, table headers, …)
• Buffer incomplete elements (partial images, broken emojis, …)
<AiChat /> just dropped.
✦ AI understands app context, can take actions, modify state.
✦ Render custom components or use pre-built UI skeletons.
✦ Persistent chats, RAG support, choose your AI, more.
Just import the component and @liveblocks.io handles the rest.
💚
I missed being able to see the films from Cannes without having to wait for months 🫶 letterboxd.com/film/sentime...
Finally shipped this, I've had a lot of fun making a Mac OS 9-styled design for this and keeping it "retro web" while using modern techniques. I have a blog post about the whole thing as well as what I plan to do with the site in the future, read it maybe?

(I can't recommend The Rehearsal enough, there's no one else dropping Kaufmanesque gems week after week like Nathan)
One more for the "nathan earbuds edits" folder bsky.app/profile/marc...

1000 GitHub stars
Frimousse, our open-source emoji picker, has just hit 1,000 stars on GitHub ⭐
Instantly thought of Heat when this came on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUSc...
Two reactions on Frimousse's site: 🐰 and 🥚.
🐰🥚
We made a tiny site for it with @pierrelevaillant.bsky.social during the last @liveblocks.io hackathon, and I finally found an excuse to try @nextjs.org’s Partial Prerendering to show a snapshot of actual data from the server before connecting to Liveblocks on the client.
Combine it with Vaul from @emilkowal.ski to show it as a drawer on mobile.
It was initially built for @liveblocks.io Comments almost 2 years ago and we’ve improved a few things when moving it to its own package:
✦ Now dependency-free
✦ Faster, with its state driven by a tiny store and selectors
✦ Supports dynamically-sized elements in the virtualized list
We’re open-sourcing Frimousse—a lightweight, unstyled (but with a shadcn/ui version too), and composable emoji picker for React. 😊
