This is pretty awesome. It seems like the models are similar to the operational transformation models that they've been using in Wave/Docs (with the batched client operation submissions). It's definitely much more advanced than what Meteor does, which is just last-writer-wins.
Still, I'm a bit wary that they're offering this as a API, rather than a framework. I don't know if I would build an application completely on top of an external API...
- boucher 14y agoGiven that it seems to require building everything on the three collaborative primitives, and that much of Wave and the ideas behind operation transformations are open, it seems plausible that someone could build an open source implementation of the server component that the JavaScript library could then hook into.
