Live Collaboration & Multi-Community System

Task Documentation: GIT-5 through GIT-11

Series: GitHub Integration (Advanced Phase)
Total Estimated Hours: 431-572 hours
Dependencies: GitHub OAuth (GIT-1 through GIT-4)

---

Overview

This series transforms Nodegx into a collaborative platform with multi-community support, live real-time collaboration (Google Docs for visual programming), and persistent notification system. Users can participate in the official Nodegx community or fork and operate their own private communities with self-hosted infrastructure.

Strategic Goals

1. Community Ownership: BYOB philosophy applied to communities - users can fork, self-host, and control their own spaces
2. Live Collaboration: Real-time multi-user editing with audio/video via WebRTC (industry first for desktop visual dev tools)
3. Persistent Notifications: Cross-session notification system for community events and collaboration invites
4. Network Effects: Component sharing, tutorial discovery, and collaboration sessions drive user engagement
5. Enterprise Ready: Private communities for companies using Nodegx as internal tooling

Key Features

• Multi-community management (join multiple communities simultaneously)
• Live collaboration sessions with audio/video chat
• Public and private collaboration sessions
• Direct user invitations with persistent notifications
• Community template repository (forkable)
• Self-hosted infrastructure (signaling, sync, relay servers)
• Real-time presence (see who's online, what they're working on)
• Component library discovery across communities
• Tutorial and showcase feeds
• Job board integration

GIT-5: Community Infrastructure & Template Repository

Priority: High
Estimated Hours: 60-80
Dependencies: GIT-1 (GitHub OAuth)

Purpose

Create the foundational community infrastructure that enables users to fork and operate their own Nodegx communities. This includes the community template repository structure, server deployment templates, and community management system.

Technical Requirements

1. Community Template Repository

Create a new repository: nodegx-community that serves as the template for all communities.

Repository Structure:

Implementation Tasks

• Create nodegx-community template repository with full structure
• Implement community.json schema and validation
• Create GitHub Actions workflows for validation and sync
• Implement CommunityManager service in editor
• Create community settings UI panel
• Add "Add Community" flow (paste GitHub URL)
• Add "Create Community" flow (fork template)
• Implement background sync for community configs
• Add server health monitoring
• Create community switcher UI component

Verification Steps

• Can fork nodegx-community template and customize community.json
• GitHub Actions validate configuration on push
• Editor can add community by pasting GitHub URL
• Editor validates community config and checks server health
• Can switch between multiple communities
• Background sync updates community configs
• Invalid communities show error states
• Can remove communities (except official)

Notes

• Official Nodegx community cannot be removed (hardcoded)
• Community configs are cached locally for offline access
• Server health checks run every sync cycle
• Failed health checks show warning but don't remove community

GIT-6: Server Infrastructure (Signaling, Sync, Notifications)

Priority: Critical
Estimated Hours: 80-100
Dependencies: GIT-5

Purpose

Build the three core server components required for live collaboration and notifications: Signaling Server (WebRTC peer discovery), Sync Server (WebSocket fallback), and Notification Server (persistent cross-session notifications).

Technical Requirements

1. Signaling Server (WebRTC Peer Discovery)

Minimal WebSocket server that helps peers find each other for WebRTC connections.

Repository: nodegx-signaling-server

File: index.js

/**
 * Nodegx Signaling Server
 * Helps WebRTC peers discover each other
 * NO project data passes through this server
 */

// Data structures
const rooms = new Map(); // roomId -> Set<PeerInfo>
const userToWs = new Map(); // userId -> WebSocket
const wsToUser = new Map(); // WebSocket -> userId

// Metrics
const metrics = {
  totalConnections: 0,
  activeConnections: 0,
  activeRooms: 0,
  messagesRelayed: 0,
  startTime: Date.now()
};

// HTTP server for health checks
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const pathname = url.parse(req.url).pathname;
  
  if (pathname === '/health') {
    res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
    res.end(JSON.stringify({

  // Heartbeat to detect dead connections
  ws.isAlive = true;
  ws.on('pong', () => { ws.isAlive = true; });

  ws.on('message', (data) => {
    try {
      const msg = JSON.parse(data);
      handleMessage(ws, msg);
    } catch (err) {

Implementation Tasks

• Create nodegx-signaling-server repository
• Create nodegx-sync-server repository
• Create nodegx-notification-server repository
• Implement signaling server with room management
• Implement sync server with Yjs integration
• Implement notification server with persistence
• Add health check endpoints to all servers
• Add Prometheus metrics endpoints
• Create Docker images for all servers
• Create one-click deploy configs (Railway, Render, Fly.io)
• Add deployment documentation
• Deploy official servers for Visual Hive
• Test server failover and recovery

Verification Steps

• Signaling server helps peers find each other
• Sync server synchronizes Yjs documents
• Notification server stores and delivers notifications
• Health endpoints return 200 OK
• Metrics endpoints expose data
• Docker Compose brings up all services
• One-click deploy works on Railway/Render
• Servers handle connection failures gracefully
• Old notifications are cleaned up automatically

Notes

• All servers designed to be stateless (horizontally scalable)
• Sync server can optionally persist data with LevelDB
• Notification server uses LowDB (can be replaced with Redis/PostgreSQL for scale)
• All servers include CORS headers for cross-origin requests
• WebSocket connections include heartbeat/ping-pong for dead connection detection

Implementation Tasks

• Install WebRTC dependencies (y-webrtc, y-websocket, simple-peer)
• Implement CollaborationManager service
• Implement session creation (host)
• Implement session joining (guest)
• Implement WebRTC peer connections
• Implement signaling server communication
• Implement Yjs document synchronization
• Implement awareness (cursors, selections, viewports)
• Implement audio/video media handling
• Implement WebSocket fallback logic
• Implement user invitations
• Add public session publishing to GitHub
• Add connection state management
• Add error handling and recovery

Verification Steps

• Can start a collaboration session
• Can join a session via room ID
• WebRTC peers connect automatically
• Cursor positions sync in real-time
• Node changes sync across all peers
• Audio chat works between peers
• Falls back to WebSocket when WebRTC fails
• Can invite users to session
• Can toggle audio/video
• Disconnections handled gracefully

Notes

• WebRTC connections are peer-to-peer (no server relay)
• Signaling server only helps with initial connection
• TURN server used as fallback when P2P impossible
• Yjs handles conflict resolution automatically
• Awareness updates are lightweight (not stored in doc)

GIT-8: Notification System

Priority: High
Estimated Hours: 50-70
Dependencies: GIT-6 (Notification Server)

Purpose

Implement persistent cross-session notification system for collaboration invites, community events, mentions, and updates.

Implementation Tasks

• Implement NotificationManager service
• Connect to notification server on app start
• Implement notification parsing and storage
• Implement toast notification UI component
• Add notification badge to launcher/editor
• Add notification center panel
• Implement mark as read functionality
• Implement delete functionality
• Add notification actions (join, view, etc.)
• Persist notification state locally
• Add notification sound (optional)
• Add desktop notifications (Electron)

Verification Steps

• Notifications persist across sessions
• Toast appears when notification received
• Can mark notifications as read
• Can delete notifications
• Unread count displays correctly
• Actions trigger correct behavior
• Desktop notifications work (Electron)
• Reconnects after connection loss
