The release of v1.2.0 introduces a new data persistence interface that allows the support of different database engines as the data store for StaticBackend.

The source code for this tutorial can be found here. Here’s a quick video demonstrating the live chat in action. @StaticBackend in all its glory. 216 lines of code for a ~dirty live chat page #jamstack: ✅ Login / Register 🗨️ Websockets / channel based 🔒 Data persistence Also note that the 202 LoC is mostly React ceremony here... I think I'm building something of high value and no fluff pic.

Let’s discover how the real-time capabilities of StaticBackend can help you build collaborative applications. You may find the source code on the GitHub repository. For this sample, we’ll build a simple application for two person to collaborate on a piece of code. Here are the functionalities we’ll make: A collaborator will be able to join a room by entering the room’s mane and a unique PIN. The instigator and the collaborator will collaborate on a text area where one of them writes code and the other is in view mode.
Enabling you to launch your app faster.
