Google Wave and Google Doc's use CRDTs.
There's a fun blog post or two on how an academic paper completely botched it's benchmarks on the underlying algorithms by putting together a piss-poor implementation of Google Wave's algorithm and proceeding to claim the algorithm itself sucked even though the piss-poor implementation was such a mess it outperformed everything from every angle..

- vlovich123 2y agoGoogle docs also uses OT not crdt. OT is easier to develop by an order of magnitude and even offline mode is possible to implement in a good enough way.
- rokicki 2y agoNice blog post, but I really wish the author knew how to use apostrophes. (Or the difference between its and it's, if it's not the typographical character he doesn't like.) It's just so jarring to be reading along and be tripped up all the time with grammatical mistakes.
- tkone 2y agoGoogle docs was originally ot based as well. I'm not sure about the current state of it.
