@eskimojo @schanuelmiller @ctnicholasdev Hey @eskimojo - thanks for adding it so quickly. When I tried adding it myself last night I also ran into this, and figured I should just rename the .then method, which I'm doing in 2.9 soon. Thanks for the quick addition, I'll make a PR to fix this properly later! 🙏

Liveblocks is going open-source!

Today we've opened up the sync engine server that powers Liveblocks Storage and Yjs on our platform. We've also built a local dev server for testing your @liveblocks app locally, try it in your app now:

$ npx liveblocks dev

@liveblocks So super proud that we finally got there!

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

Nice, @typefully now also supports posting to Bluesky! https://t.co/f8UchoA3fj

(I'm using the Sky Follower Bridge browser plugin to help me find you on 🦋, and unfollowing makes it easier to run this periodically 😇)

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

If I unfollowed you here recently, it's most likely because I'm following you on 🦋 now instead 👋

Hello tech friends! 👋

I'm going to be posting less here in the bad place each week, and going to be posting more in the good place instead.

🦋 Just come say hi there!

Actually, technically there is “an algorithm”. It’s just that you have choices: https://t.co/AGC4V09wlZ

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

It truly is a much nicer place. No ads, no algorithms, no auto-playing videos, real humans, more authentic again. A breath of fresh air. 🦋

New @liveblocks hook just got published—I recommend you use it!

`useSyncStatus` tells you if any part of your app is still synching, and lets you create a quick spinner component. This is global, meaning it works for all hooks, methods, extensions, and components.

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

We previously offered `useStorageStatus` to display a "Saving…" badge, but it only worked for (a single room's) Storage. This new hook works globally, for any part of Liveblocks!

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

We just released Liveblocks 2.12.0, which features a nice quality of life improvement to display a "Saving…" badge for your app more easily.

Or prevent tabs from closing before changes have been persisted.

Read more here! https://t.co/6FBnafAiMZ

[🦋 Vincent Driessen @nvie]

To enable it, simply upgrade Liveblocks and opt-in by setting `preventUnsavedChanges` to true on your LiveblocksProvider (or createClient call).

That’s it. I’m so ready to leave Twitter behind at this point. Bluesky is a bit more like “Twitter from the good days”. Hope to see many of you on the other side too! Find me on @nvie.bsky.social 🦋
