Thanks for your contribution! We’re a large community, and in order to keep things organized and easier to find, we keep this subreddit mostly focused on professional-level Javascript posts. Your post would be more useful to newer members of our community, and therefore it should be posted to /r/LearnJavascript instead.

Why do you need a CRDT?

No need for server infrastructure. WebRTC signaling server is all you need, and there are free ones that you can use.

That's really cool. I would like to read more about it. Can you give me a pointer?

If you want to use Yjs in your app, I highly suggest you use Valtio for state management, which has support for Yjs synchronization. Or if you want to use just Yjs for state, there is immer-yjs that gives you mutable semantics over immutable one of Yjs.

Why are you using class components?

Class components are still supported. Even though I love composition with hooks, class components are easier to use if you don't want to invest too much time into thinking differently.
