This project is a C# WinUI application that demonstrates collaborative text editing using the Fluid Framework, which has a JS-only API.
Before building and running this project:
- If necessary, install tools for WinUI C# development.
- Download a build of
libnode.dllthat includes Node API embedding support. (Soon this will be available as a nuget package, but for now you can contact us to get a copy.) Place it atbin\win-x64\libnode.dllrelative to the repo root (not this subdirectory).

Launch two or more instances of the app to set up a collaborative editing session. Each instance of the application can either host or join a session.
- To host a new session, click the Start button. Then Copy the session ID and send it to a guest.
- To join an existing session, paste the session ID (obtained from a host) and click Join.
All participants in the session can see each others' cursors and simultanesouly edit the document.
To join remotely, forward port 7070 using ngrok or a similar tool. See
