I watched the 1 min intro video, but still have no idea what it actually does. Why I should add this to my website. A simple demo video instead of all the marketing might work better?

Hi Gys, co founder of Liveblocks here!

Our goal is to help companies create collaborative products like Figma or Google Docs with API and guides. Multiplayer infrastructure and conflicts resolutions can be challenging to build in-house and we think it will become a commodity (like logging or analytics systems).

If our marketing video didn't convince you, maybe our examples page and documentation will give you more information.

Congratulations to the founders for the launch, but unfortunately I had the same response.

In situations like these - intrigued but with no real understanding of what the product is - I want the video to show me a real-world example in about ten seconds flat. A more glitzy promo video has its place, but not in a post to Hacker News.
