Looks interesting. Coincidentally, I've just completed the bulk of work on a distributed Websocket network system to synchronize certain bits of state between multiple clients for my own kind of Storybook tool [0]. How interesting!

This kind of tool is exactly what I would have needed, instead of the approach I've taken which is a bit kludgy and grass-roots.

By far the most difficult part of it for me was ensuring that the web socket network can heal from outages of any of the clients or the server. E.g. If a client loses connection, how does it regain knowledge of state? If the server dies, what do clients do with state changes they want to upload? Etc. It was really difficult!

Good work :)
