Collaboration parity

Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: minor (the multiplayer core landed in #103) · Target: Figma Design (desktop app 126.10.7)

Figma is multiplayer first; FigCraft is local first. Ready ~12% (estimated): comments and version history work inside one file on one machine; the real-time collaboration core landed in #103 (sync model, server ordering, client reconciliation, convergence tests) without networking, so nobody can co-edit yet (collab-protocol.md). Remaining: 55–110 h (multiplayer 45–90 h, shared libraries 10–20 h), plus branching 8–15 h.

Feature Figma FigCraft Hours
Real-time co-editing yes core built, no networking (#103): client-scoped ids, per-property change sets with fractional positions, server ordering and validation, optimistic clients, binary messages; randomized multi-client convergence tests over real commands. Left: WebSocket transport, hosting and joining, per-user undo, reconnect, browser client, standalone server 25–55
Live cursors, selections, viewports; follow / observation mode; spotlight yes no (presence messages encoded; no UI or transport) 8–15
Cursor chat, audio, high-fives yes no 4–8
Share links, permissions (view / edit), teams and projects yes no 8–17
Comments: pins on frames and layers, threads, reactions, @mentions, resolve, unread, search and filters, links, in the presenter yes (shared) done, local: stored in the file, your name from Preferences (shared once multiplayer lands)
Version history: named versions, autosave checkpoints, view before restore, restore, duplicate yes (cloud) done, saved in the .figcraft file —
Branching and merging yes (paid plans) no 8–15
Team / organization libraries yes local library files only (components-parity) 10–20
Notifications, activity yes no with sharing
