This will be my last tweet ever. I've stopped using X. Follow me on bsky.app/profile/nvie.com (🦋) instead.

Liveblocks is going open-source!
Today we've opened up the sync engine server that powers Liveblocks Storage and Yjs on our platform. We've also built a local dev server for testing your @liveblocks app locally, try it in your app now:
$ npx liveblocks dev

If I unfollowed you here recently, it's most likely because I'm following you on 🦋 now instead 👋

(I'm using the Sky Follower Bridge browser plugin to help me find you on 🦋, and unfollowing makes it easier to run this periodically 😇)

Seriously, how long are you going to stay here while it declines into a full-on nutjob billionaire's one-sided megaphone? I'm at bsky.app/profile/nedbat.com

Hello tech friends! 👋
I'm going to be posting less here in the bad place each week, and going to be posting more in the good place instead.
🦋 Just come say hi there!

It truly is a much nicer place. No ads, no algorithms, no auto-playing videos, real humans, more authentic again. A breath of fresh air. 🦋

Actually, technically there is “an algorithm”. It’s just that you have choices: bsky.app/profile/danabra.mov…

New @liveblocks hook just got published—I recommend you use it!
`useSyncStatus` tells you if any part of your app is still synching, and lets you create a quick spinner component. This is global, meaning it works for all hooks, methods, extensions, and components.

We just released Liveblocks 2.12.0, which features a nice quality of life improvement to display a "Saving…" badge for your app more easily.
Or prevent tabs from closing before changes have been persisted.
Read more here! github.com/liveblocks/livebl…

To enable it, simply upgrade Liveblocks and opt-in by setting `preventUnsavedChanges` to true on your LiveblocksProvider (or createClient call).

We previously offered `useStorageStatus` to display a "Saving…" badge, but it only worked for (a single room's) Storage. This new hook works globally, for any part of Liveblocks!

That’s it. I’m so ready to leave Twitter behind at this point. Bluesky is a bit more like “Twitter from the good days”. Hope to see many of you on the other side too! Find me on @nvie.bsky.social 🦋

at the risk of repeating myself, you should all really checkout 🔵☁️ (aka the "other place") if you haven't already/in a while
a lot of frontend devs/designers/artists/web game devs have joined and the best thing is that I know actually see their content!
