Yes, I think most practical solutions are not strictly CRDTs, not even Automerge, I think.

- wim 3y agoRight, there are quite some collaborative applications for which a hybrid approach is useful. We're building a collaborative editor (https://thymer.com https://thymer.com) for example, where the underlying data structure is also a tree (as the text documents also support outliner-like features, so a flat list of characters/lines isn't enough). To avoid tree conflicts, insert and move operations look more like OT than CRDT however, where other updates can use a simple CRDT mutation.
- Rapzid 3y agoAutomerge is interesting as it's an op-based CRDT system vs state-based.. This should make use cases involving a central authority easier to work with but.. Their docs lack any detail useful to taking advantage of this haha.
