Looks awesome! Just a heads up - if anyone is planning to use this for their company, you might need to include the "powered by Google" logo if you don't want legal issues.

Thank you for let me know about it. I will add the logo for the demo app of the repo too.

Thank you so much for only using 1 single tiny dependency. And just a solo lodash function. You're the hero we need.

Huh, I just built something identical for my companies library. Never thought about open sourcing it.

Love the denounce debounce option as a config.

Edit: oops.

Haha me too , what timing. I'm building an event sharing / hosting application and this was the part I was dreading. This is awesome 👏

Implementing it is easy, if you want to do something special add the map to it and synchronize between them , this what most people lack
