During February 2026, Douglance developed a WebSocket ConnectionManager for React applications in the clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB repository. This feature addressed React StrictMode’s double-mount behavior by ensuring only a single active WebSocket connection through reference counting and deferred cleanup, reducing resource leaks and connection errors. Douglance integrated useSyncExternalStore for efficient and predictable state synchronization across components, improving reliability for client applications. The work demonstrated a strong grasp of React, TypeScript, and state management, with careful attention to lifecycle handling and testing. Although focused on a single feature, the solution reflected depth in SDK development and robust engineering for real-world usage.

February 2026: Key feature delivered for SpacetimeDB — a WebSocket ConnectionManager for React that safely handles StrictMode double-mounts, ensures a single active connection via reference counting and deferred cleanup, and uses useSyncExternalStore for efficient state synchronization. This reduces resource leaks and connection errors in client apps, improving reliability and developer experience.
