Hello! I was investigating using yjs in a react project, and started designing my own abstraction when I came across this project. It looks really cool although I haven't been able to get state to sync across two browser windows. Oddly enough, the state syncs when I have my app open in two tabs in the same browser window. I haven't pushed my code anywhere as I'm still playing around with different approaches before incorporating a solution into my main project, but I was able to repro the issue in the react example app: https://3xemy.csb.app/, if you open that link in a chrome window, and then open it again in a second incognito window, the state doesn't get synced across the two windows. In my local playground app, I use
y-webrtcas my provider and determined that the two windows are indeed connecting to each other, but haven't investigated much beyond that.
