Summary

Browsers offer low-friction distribution of software due to their universality and isolation mechanism, making them an attractive platform for developers. Drifting in Space is working on improving browser-based application development with projects like Y-Sweet Cloud, a managed Yjs backend product providing CRDTs as a service. This technology enables building multiplayer collaborative applications by allowing clients to send incremental updates to server-side JSON documents. Y-Sweet Cloud's interoperability and ease of use make it an attractive solution for developers, particularly those interested in AI applications. Railway, an open-source WebSocket engine, is used by Drifting in Space to enable a seamless development experience with preview environments and automated deployments. To learn more about Y-Sweet Cloud and Drifting in Space, readers can visit their website or GitHub repo.
