Haven't tried with this specific project, but Yjs has a WebrtcProvider [0] which could be used where the project now uses WebsocketProvider [1]. Yjs is built to allow you to switch easily between providers so it shouldn't be too much trouble to make the change.

Show HN: Yboard is a multiplayer desktop-like workspace based on CRDT

I've always been curious about real-time multiplayer user interfaces. When I found out about CRDTs and Yjs[1] I thought they could serve as a solid base for a project like that. So I built this pretty simple desktop-like UI (heavily inspired by lifeat.io) and used Yjs to replicate the whole UI state among multiple peers, creating the experience of a unique interface.
