Lies I was Told About Collaborative Editing, Part 2: Why we don't use Yjs / Moment devlog
In part 1 of this series, we found that users generally view the most popular collaborative text editing algorithms (including the most popular library, Yjs) as silently corrupting their documents when the algorithms resolve direct editing conflicts. We argued that, while this is potentially ok for live collaborative editing (since presence cursors help users to avoid direct editing conflicts), this property makes them generally wholly inappropriate for the offline case, as users will have no ability to avoid such conflicts.
How CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA

Upwelling: Combining real-time collaboration with version control for writers.
Collaborative writing tools don’t work well for writers or editors. With Upwelling, we demonstrate a design that gives writers privacy while still offering editors transparency into how a document is changing.
Proposal for a CRDTs on At Proto Working Group
There’s been some work done on using the PDS / At Proto as a to store and transmit CRDT operations. There is a general feeling that if we can figure out the right approach for this it will enable a number of new experiences on At Proto, specifically a collaborative editing approach that is localfirst. We hope that as a working group we can come up with some of the following: A set of best practices and recommendations that apps can adopt to enable collaborative, localfirst, editing via crdts ...

An introduction to Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)

I've always wanted my own WYSIWYG editor for my website, and now I have one! Works locally, saves changes to MDX.But the better part is building semantic writing tools on top. Colour-coded sentence classification, flagging cliches, repetition, and claims that need citations pic.twitter.com/lvOMTZ4DUB— Maggie Appleton (@Mappletons) September 28, 2026
