Figma's Multiplayer Editing: A Simplified CRDT Approach

2025-08-19

Four years ago, Figma embarked on building multiplayer functionality, opting for a custom-built system instead of the popular Operational Transform (OT) algorithm. Driven by a need for rapid iteration and concerns about OT's complexity, they created a simpler solution. This post details Figma's multiplayer system architecture, including its client/server architecture, WebSocket communication, offline editing capabilities, and data synchronization. While inspired by CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types), Figma's implementation deviates from strict CRDT adherence, leveraging its principles while benefiting from a centralized server for efficiency and simplicity. The article contrasts OTs and CRDTs, delving into Figma's data structure design and how it handles edge cases.

2025-03-14

This code snippet reveals an unusually complex, deeply nested HTML structure. Like a maze, layers upon layers of div elements make it difficult to discern the underlying logic. This brings to mind the intricate architectures of complex programs or websites, their internal complexities often exceeding imagination. While the code itself contains no actual content, the sheer complexity of its structure invites discussion. Is this a deliberate design choice? Or the result of a programming error?

Web Design: From Templates to Expression

2025-01-31

In 2010, a custom website was a designer's digital calling card. Developers harnessed HTML5's capabilities to create imaginative websites. But the rise of templates and automation led to homogenization. Today, browser technology has advanced significantly, yet many designers remain stuck in old paradigms. This article calls on designers to utilize new CSS features like HSL and OKLCH color spaces, and container queries, to break free from template limitations and create more expressive websites. Websites should be more than just information containers; they're a space for creative expression.
