Is advised to use CRDTs for an offline app that syncs to a central server, such as a todo app like Apple's Reminders or Todoist? Can simpler methods suffice ?

- LAC-Tech 4y agoI hate to give a vague answer, but it really depends. What do you think a todo app should do when it detects a conflict/concurrent update?
- jamil7 4y agoYou can if you like but, with a centralised server, you can do all the merging logic in one place without a CRDT. With a CRDT, you'd be storing the entire history of a document, which might be overkill for something like a todo app that's just doing last write wins.
