Realtime spreadsheets with Laravel

Using tools like Laravel Echo and Pusher, developer Aaron Francis constructed a real-time, collaborative spreadsheet in just a few days, earning a feature from the component library Handsontable.

Thanks to @handsontable, @laravelphp Echo, and @pusher, I've got a real-time, collaborative, internal spreadsheet tool. And it only took a couple of days!

These tools are so amazing because they let us focus on the important parts of our apps instead of the plumbing. pic.twitter.com/stjOFbCRwu
