  1. Yep. As an example, see this pair of posts from 2017 on a distributed VR app with Redux actions over the network: http://jimpurbrick.com/2017/01/04/vr-redux/ http://jimpurbrick.com/2017/07/04/react-vr-redux-revisited/

  3. Really neat to see how Redux's design and extensibility make this kind of action serialization and store synchronization possible. There was another similar example recently where someone was synchronizing multiplayer game states via Redux actions [0]. There's actually quite a few addons available related to store synchronization [1]. [0] http://jimpurbrick.com/2017/01/04/vr-redux/ , http://jimpurbrick.com/2017/07/0…
