So I'm just at the tail end of a project where I'm attempting to build a collaborative text editor, and it's been absolute hell. I figured it would be a tricky problem, but I had no idea how far down the rabbit hole goes. I kept thinking, gosh, there's gotta be a backend service that bakes this in, if there isn't it would be a great business opportunity.

I almost want to scrap all of my code and move it to Supabase. Congrats to the team on this launch, very cool.

edit: actually, after thinking it through, I'm not clear on what Supabase is calling multiplayer. Presence is one thing, but when I think multiplayer, I'm thinking conflict resolution. Is this an OT/CRDT implementation? Or is it just presence?
