Advanced React Web Collaboration

Real-Time Collaborative Whiteboard

Estimated time: 4+ weeks
5 steps

A React-based online whiteboard with real-time collaboration using WebSockets.

Implementation Steps

  1. Step 1: As a frontend developer, I want to set up a React project with Vite so that I can build a fast and optimized whiteboard application.
  2. Step 2: As a full-stack developer, I need to implement WebSocket-based real-time collaboration so that multiple users can draw and edit simultaneously.
  3. Step 3: As a UI/UX designer, I want to design an interactive whiteboard interface with drawing tools so that users can easily create sketches.
  4. Step 4: As a database administrator, I will store whiteboard session data in a scalable database (Firebase, Supabase, or PostgreSQL) for persistence.
  5. Step 5: As a performance engineer, I will optimize rendering and data synchronization to ensure smooth user interactions.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication to reduce server load.
  • Optimize the frontend rendering to prevent lag in real-time interactions.
  • Use a NoSQL database for scalable session storage.

Recommended Tech Stack
