If you're just getting started with CRDTs I'd also recommend Seph's "5000x faster CRDTs" post[1] and also his "I was wrong. CRDTs are the future" post[2] for some nice captures of the practical challenges and opportunities in the space.

- whartung 3y agoFrom the first link: They implemented lots of algorithms - CRDTs and OT algorithms and stuff. What’s an “OT” algorithm in this context?

- josephg 3y agoThanks for the plug! I’m happy to answer any questions about this stuff. I’ve been noodling with collaborative editing for awhile now. It’s a fun space!
- quartz 3y agoVery much appreciate your writing on the topic-- it gave me the practical context I was missing while trying to spin up with automerge and CRDTs in general. I ended up using y.js in my personal react native notes app and it works wonderfully.
