This problem is what CRDT's are good for. I'm not sure if Git is the right tool to build this on top off.

- tobr 6y agoMy comment speculates about what it might be like to repurpose Git for this, so I hope it’s clear that I’m also not sure if it’s the right tool. CRDTs have the problem the article brings up, that they’re usually very specific to the data they’re modeling and need support from a very purpose-built editor. Git is supported by a lot of tooling and uses plain text which works everywhere.
- ilaksh 6y agoTrue but how would you create a useful client without having access to a data format that is specific to the application?
