Early lobby concept demo by Liveblocks

This project illustrates the Lobby room concept that we're currently prototyping and testing out.

This uses Redis to track how many users are in each room and find the least occupied room in the lobby (or create a new one if every room is full).

Currently limited to 3 users per room (configured in /api/lobby/[lobbyId]/index.ts).

See it live

See it live on https://lobby-demo.vercel.app/. To use it, open a bunch of tabs on the same machine.
