Add multiple cursors to your website

You can add multiple cursors to to your website or app using this snippet below (what I'm using for this page). To do fancy stuff like customize cursor appearance, you can check out out some more examples

import { Cursors, init } from '@instantdb/react';

const db = init({
  // Replace this with your own app id you get from
  // instantdb.com when you create a new app
  // This will work as is, but you'll be sharing
  // the same app id with everyone else
  appId: "4564aaed-6e6c-46c0-8759-1139eb0c3de8"
});

export default function InstantCursors({ roomLabel, children }) {
  const room = db.room('cursors', roomLabel);
  return (
    <Cursors room={room}>
      {children}
    </Cursors>
  );
}

Last week I was talking with one of our users on how they discovered Instant and what made them want to try us. It was fun to discover they found us while trying to learn about multiplayer and that their "aha!" moment was when they tried adding mulitple cursors to their website with Instant.

This morning I woke up and saw that one of Tonksy's posts is on the front page of HN. He uses multiple cursors and I think it's interesting how much chatter is generated around this feature.
