We shipped a Yjs alternative for collaborative text editing! LiveText is a new data type for @liveblocks.io. It's quicker, simpler, and smaller than a CRDT, and integrates into four popular text editors. And there's more ↓

Tiptap, BlockNote, ProseMirror, and CodeMirror are supported at launch, and more may come later. Each editor just needs a simple extension to add collaboration, like Tiptap below, and you can even render multiple documents in the same room.

Because LiveText is a conflict-free type like LiveObject and LiveList, you can use it directly in your Storage tree too. You can create a whole multiplayer data tree, and nest your LiveText content fields inside it.

You can even edit text from the server, so your AI agents can write into documents in realtime. Use `mutateStorage` in Node.js, or JSON Patch operations via REST API.
