Tool review
InstantDB
Realtime database for apps where users need to see shared data update immediately, like collaborative boards, editors, planning tools, or live workspaces. Includes auth, permissions, storage, presence, cursors, activity, webhooks, admin APIs, and client SDKs so the app can stay synced without a lot of custom backend glue.
