Maybe you don’t need it for shapes and what not, but for collaborative text documents it’s really hard to have a good experience without convergent intention preserving async merges on text - you’re gonna want OT or CRDT for collaborative text editing eventually.
I work on Notion, a collaborate editor that (famously?) doesn’t merge text updates. Our editor predates the popular CRDT libraries. We’ve taken the last write wins optimistic model about as far as it will go, and now we’re building CRDT text as the basis for a bunch of new features. It’s challenging to integrate with our existing model but I think the end result will be well worth it.
If you’re interested in this sort of thing and want to work in SF or NY, shoot me an email [email protected] or dm me on Twitter @jitl
