Really interesting...you can build a similar (websocket/db backed) app with LiveView out of the box, no? Any idea how well that'd hold up against this solution?



The big difference is that with CRDTs you can make edits offline and they will get merged with other changes when you come back online. Websocket/db really only works when you always online.

That being said you can totally implement collab without CRDTs and if you don't particularly need offline it should be easier.


Does LiveView have any conflict resolution, or would it just be last-write-wins?


This was my first thought as well.
