It's a conference registration site that involves a series of challenges involving a wordle and a multiplayer experience with a prism built with Three.js
But happy to answer questions about the multiplayer.
As an overview, this uses an upcoming version of Replicache that has been upgraded to support high rate collaborative experiences. The current client-side only version of Replicache can manage about 4-5 updates / second, depending on your server setup, or maybe 10 if you spend a lot of time tuning it.
In this upcoming version, we are offering our own server for Replicache, based on Cloudflare's durable object technology. We are getting about 40 updates per second now, but our goal is 60fps.
We have been really happy building on Cloudflare, and think durable objects in particular are a super unique and valuable tool. Not useful for every situation, but there's nothing else really like it on the market and when you need it you really need it.
Love the work 0xcaOa did with Three.js to create this multiplayer light effect. Glad to see https://liveblocks.io was able to help them prototype this out to get a feel for that experience.
And… it’s great to see the web become a place where people can hang out and feel like they’re together in the same space!

I can't answer questions about the (absurdly epic) webgl stuff. That's https://twitter.com/0xca0a.
