Build collaborative applications with Yjs

Creating collaborative applications should be easy. Yjs exposes Shared Types that can be manipulated like any other data type. But they sync automatically!

Automatic Syncing

Build collaborative applications with shared types. They work just like normal data types, but they sync automatically!

Offline Support

No more waiting for slow connections. The shared data can be stored in a local database (e.g. indexeddb) and will be available right away. Render the information you have and sync later.

Network Agnostic

Yjs does not require a central server for coordination. Decentralized systems are faster, easier to scale, and more fault tolerant.

Yjs Ecosystem

Yjs integrates well with other technologies. We have a rich ecosystem of ready-to-use integrations with popular editor libraries and web frameworks.
