I've built an open-source coding agent tool! Jev classifies every message—the chats are multiplayer, and humans can talk normally, but if Jev recognises a coding request or question, it hops in and triggers the correct agent. Get it + info ↓

I've built an open-source workflow builder for Jev! Experiment with a UI—classify inputs using choices, scores, booleans; wire results into other prompts; and return a set of custom outputs. Below I've set up a support system that can help with various queries. Features ↓

I love that Jev can fit into basically any app. You don't need to build everything around a chat, you can just integrate intelligent features into the background, like these auto-fill buttons. Much better UX than with slow LLMs. Feels like the missing piece!

Chris Nicholas @chrisnicholas.dev · 17/09/2026

Jev enables instant AI suggestions 👏 In this app, 20+ intelligent checks occur every time you edit a cell, immediately providing warnings. No LLMs necessary!

DX in @liveblocks.io is crazy! See this hook? It fetches a multiplayer list of objects. Every time the list changes, it automatically updates with a new value, in real-time. No back-end or setting up WebSockets—just React.

const shapes = useStorage((root) => root.shapes);

Chris Nicholas @chrisnicholas.dev · 22/06/2026

In case you missed it, @liveblocks.io has nodes for n8n! It's super handy for setting up complex workflows, for example after a Liveblocks comment's created, you can trigger an AI response. Another use case is allowing AI to modify your realtime data with a custom trigger.

Chris Nicholas @chrisnicholas.dev · 19/06/2026

We're transitioning into a world where multiplayer documents are required. As more and more agents become commonplace, you need a way to ensure that their modifications don't disrupt other agents & humans—you need a sync engine, like below. And that's not the only challenge ↓

I'm building an AI-powered spreadsheet template! AI can edit cell contents, styling, and leave comments. Plus the whole table is multiplayer, so that humans and AI can work together at the same time. Interested in me open-sourcing it?

Add WebSockets to your agent/workflow with one React hook! Feeds is a new real-time primitive for the agentic world, by @liveblocks.io. Use it to send live JSON data into your app, directly from your back-end. Status updates, chat messages, tool calls, etc. And it's multiplayer.

The best apps, like Linear & Notion, increasingly feature AI that inhabits the same space as humans. In particular, agents that can: • Edit documents. • Show live presence. • Leave comments in threads. I've written a post on how to add it to your own app!

People are sleeping on AI in comments. Tagging agents in existing threads immediately provides all the context it needs to work effectively with humans. Here's an example where I trigger a workflow inside an @xyflow.com document.

Chris Nicholas @chrisnicholas.dev · 14/05/2026

Many AI apps have a flaw—agents are a black box. It's frustrating when an agent edits your document, and there's no way to tell what changed. You can't trust it. And the problem only compounds with multiple agents. We can solve this with real-time presence ↓

111

Chris Nicholas @chrisnicholas.dev · 12/05/2026

Creating a multiplayer list is trickier than it looks. When two users make simultaneous edits, state drifts out of sync—you can't just use a regular array. Real-time tools like Figma and Liveblocks use a specific technique to solve this. It's called fractional indexing ↓
