  Yes, agreed. That would be up to my colleague Mark[1], but I'll take the liberty of copy-pasting something he wrote earlier: > Unfortunately we're not going to be in a position to open source or license the syncing software in the short term. As you noted there's inevitably overhead with that and we can't take that on right now as such a small team. Also I still feel like we need to prove out our approach more in production, starting with rolling out the sync capabilities to the full Muse user base and scaling that userbase up a bit. I'm open to considering open-sourcing in the future but that'd probably be a ways off. > I was speaking with another developer at an early-stage company recently and he mentioned that he'd been having good results with Automerge, which has come a long ways in the last ~2 years since we looked at it deeply. Importantly the Automerge[2] team is now tackling the storage and network problems in earnest, making it a more viable production option. So you might look into that project if you haven't yet.
