Real-Time Collaboration in is.team
How Does Real-Time Collaboration Work in is.team?
is.team delivers real-time collaboration through Firebase Realtime Database and Firestore, providing sub-second synchronization across all connected browsers. When one team member creates a task, moves a card, or edits a note, every other user sees the change instantly — no manual refresh required. Live cursors display each team member's position on the infinite canvas with their avatar and name, enabling spatial awareness during planning sessions. The presence system shows who is currently online in the workspace with real-time status indicators. Simultaneous editing is supported across all content types: task cards, rich-text notes, board columns, and canvas layout. The collaboration engine uses an anti-feedback-loop mechanism where each client session has a unique ID, preventing write-back cycles when multiple users edit simultaneously. Real-time sync extends to the timeline view, sprint boards, and analytics dashboards — every view stays current across all participants.
