During the development of my multiplayer game room project, funrooms.io, on Cloudflare Workers, I encountered several challenges like socket reconnections, broadcast issues, managing presence, and custom event setups. I wished for a better alternative. Having previously used liveblocks and admired their API and developer experience, I found that it lacked support for custom backend code, which led me to discover partykit. With its superior developer experience compared to Cloudflare Workers and a supportive community, I decided to develop a library on top of it. Initially intended for personal use, the library evolved into something I'd like to share because, after all, "everything's better with friends" 🎈.
Hey there, I'm Shivam! I'm deeply passionate about the multiplayer, collaboration, and gaming space. Presently, I'm working on Partyworks and funrooms.io. In the past, I've implemented my own CRDT based on Yata (the same as Yjs). Wishing you a fantastic day! 😁
(Pssst... I'm currently looking for new opportunities!)
