How do those collaborative whiteboards work?

4 pointsby someuser54541about 2 years ago
I&#x27;m talking about those online things like Miro, Figma&#x27;s FigJam, Google&#x27;s Jamboard. They are online collaborative whiteboards.<p>I&#x27;d like to build one for learning purposes but not sure what sort of tech stacks those things usually use.<p>I have some familiarity with React and websockets..is that what they are usually built with?<p>If anyone has some insight into those things I&#x27;d love to know!

I thought this was a great read for a high-level overview of Figma&#x27;s approach: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.figma.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;how-figmas-multiplayer-technology-works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.figma.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;how-figmas-multiplayer-technology...</a>
