Visual editors coordinate interactive canvas state, real-time collaboration, authentication and persistence. The frontend needs clear ownership of these responsibilities while keeping everyday editing responsive.
What I built
I built a node-based workspace with React Flow and integrated Liveblocks for collaboration. Authenticated workspaces and persistent application data sit behind clearly defined server and client responsibilities.
02 / ARCHITECTURE & TECHNICAL DECISIONS
Engineering with intent.
01
An editor built from reusable parts
React Flow supports the node and edge canvas. Reusable editor components keep interactive behavior focused and maintainable.
02
Shared state as a first-class concern
Liveblocks coordinates collaborative workspace state so the visual editor can support simultaneous participants.
03
Clear server and client boundaries
Interactive canvas behavior stays on the client, while authenticated workspace and persistence concerns use Clerk, Prisma and PostgreSQL.
