IPFS for collaborative text editing

Question

I am new to ReactJS and IPFS, trying to create webpages with textarea where, when I type in textarea of webpage 1 it should reflect on the other and vice versa. Also, I need to do this with ipfs. Any help in understanding how to proceed on this. I tried installing yjs, http-server and ipfs. used textarea binding, but couldn't able to replicate. Help me with steps on how I can achieve this.
