Developers today have unprecedented access to powerful tools for creating multiplayer applications, with options like Yjs, PartyKit, and Liveblocks simplifying the process. Liveblocks stands out for providing an almost turnkey solution, enabling real-time interactions along with features such as cursor position and user presence. In contrast to Meteor's approach of focusing on paid hosting services, Liveblocks leverages data hosting to create a real-time, multiplayer experience, filling a crucial gap in the market. For React developers, Blocknote serves as a convenient package, while PartyKit offers the flexibility of self-hosting or using its services, providing an appealing future option for developers seeking customization and control.
