May be a common question you might have used to - When most of the editors already support collaborations For eg. VSCode (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/), IntelliJ(https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/code-with-me.html#work_h...), why someone will use LiveBlocks?

Good question!

There are still a lot of specialized editors that are not text-based nor collaborative yet.

In the creative space, we can imagine 3D collaborative editors (think Figma but for 3D). Here is an example built with liveblocks: https://liveblocks.io/examples/3d-shoe-builder

Filling a form can also be a collaborative experience: https://liveblocks.io/examples/collaborative-logo-builder

Building a form can also be a collaborative experience! Think Typeform editor with multi-player features.

All the no-code tools could benefit from multi-players feature. Any "data entry" could be collaborative.

For example, we're working with https://cloverapp.co/ to improve their collaborative features (live cursors on whiteboard and live avatars).

I hope it answers your question
