Hi all! I wanted to give an update on this project-
In my video, I discussed using Yjs on the server-side in order to merge the states of the various clients. This worked, but was not ideal since it required running JS from Phoenix or from a separate JS backend server (which is what I did for my project via a Cloudflare Worker).
Since then, I have found out that it is not necessary at all to run Yjs on the server in order to sync the clients. I have updated my repo to no longer need a separate JS backend. I also made a video explaining how it is possible to do so. You can check it out here if interested:
