Next Conf Realtime Playground
Have you seen the awesome Realtime Playground for Next Conf? I believe most of you did. I thought this is just a fun playground for React/Next Dev to play around when they are claiming their tickets, but it turns out to be something much BIGGER! ⚠ Risk of jaw dropping
Then, the Frontend Dev in me started to wonder how they implement such features. I Right Click -> Inspect and started to dig and study how the magic works.
Realtime sync (Replicache)
It turns out their magic is backed by the Backstage assistant, Replicache. Replicache makes it easy to add realtime collaboration, lag-free UI, and offline support to web apps. Most importantly, it works with any backend stack 🤯.

📇 About The Project
TLDR - NextConf Realtime Clone using Supabase Realtime
I was heavily inspired by Next Conf realtime ⌚ functionalities, and take some time on learning how Next implement it. Seems like they are using Replicache to implement the Push/Pull realtime functionalities.
Then I look around the internet and couldn't find any similar example, thus inspired me to take on the challenge, and utilizing Supabase Realtime ⚡ to replicate similar effect.
After long hour of studying…
