Collaboration is futile without these UX best-practices

What's this blog post about?

The rise in remote work has led to a need for online collaboration tools that can replicate the sense of connection and productivity experienced in face-to-face settings. Key features required for virtual collaborative environments include avatar stacks, member location, live cursors, and component locking. These features provide realtime information about who is present, where they are located, what they are doing, and which components are being edited. UX design considerations emphasize simplicity, intuitiveness, and minimizing distractions. Developers can use the Spaces SDK to easily integrate these collaborative features into their applications with minimal effort.
