How do those collaborative whiteboards work?

4 points by someuser54541 3 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I'm talking about those online things like Miro, Figma's FigJam, Google's Jamboard. They are online collaborative whiteboards.

I'd like to build one for learning purposes but not sure what sort of tech stacks those things usually use.

I have some familiarity with React and websockets..is that what they are usually built with?

If anyone has some insight into those things I'd love to know!

I thought this was a great read for a high-level overview of Figma's approach: https://www.figma.com/blog/how-figmas-multiplayer-technology...
