thanks! there seems to be many use cases of making html forms / form fields collaborative. to name a few:

- forms where you fill in the form but need expert advice for some fields. I'm thinking medical or legal or similar. With a collaborative form you could share the state of your form with them and they can look it over. Current workaround is to do a screen share with them so they can look at what you have.

- gathering information from groups of people, eg rental applications, YC application

- multi-step forms where you have different people do each step and need to coordinate when someone finishes their portion and who should go next.

for data language-level replication it seems like over enough time CRDTs would add a decent overhead, but I assume you could use CRDTs just for replicating and once you knew replication was complete you could convert the CRDT data struct into the simple underlying type?

it'll probably have to be even more precise than that since you might want to have multiple instance of the project that people can collaborate on.

eg group of people A,B,C all collab on project P, but they should each get their distinct version of P, (P1, P2, P3, etc)

Noted, thanks for the input. I think building out a component would also be the more fun work. Beyond the technical challenges there are some interesting UX problems around how you show the user that their form is collaborative, and how they can manage that access.

TogetherForm is also written in Remix.
