It may be worth reading the whole paragraph of the blog you referenced...

> Figma isn't using true CRDTs though. CRDTs are designed for decentralized systems where there is no single central authority to decide what the final state should be. There is some unavoidable performance and memory overhead with doing this. Since Figma is centralized (our server is the central authority), we can simplify our system by removing this extra overhead and benefit from a faster and leaner implementation.

> It’s also worth noting that Figma's data structure isn't a single CRDT. Instead it's inspired by multiple separate CRDTs and uses them in combination to create the final data structure that represents a Figma document (described below).

So, it's multiple CRDTs, not just one. And they've made some optimizations on top, but that doesn't make it not a CRDT?

I think it definitely depends on the country, there isn’t a one-size fits all answer to this for the countries in the EU.

Even in this example, the French are building this in-house, but the Germans are repackaging this into their suite. And the Netherlands is on their way to do the same.

So the approach would be different depending on which country you approached.

My advice to you would be to follow government events like Hackdays to get yourself in front of people who can point you in the right direction

I think that the point of the project is more:

“Content over form” so you don’t really need all the formatting options of something like Word when you are just trying to write meeting notes.

They are definitely trending more towards a wiki, but it is still early days for this whole experiment. Though, many of the municipalities in the French gov are using it for their day to day work so it is clearly useful in some capacity. I don’t have numbers, but it’s definitely respectable

Very much appreciated! We put a lot of effort into it!

Made X-Wiki unrelated just happen to be the same country

Glad to be working as part of this initiative too!

Not sure that it’s relevant to switch git hosts is trivial. And everyone is already there

Hey hn:

I made a collaborative editing framework based on Y.js.

I think it has many advantages over existing solutions like hocuspocus, Y-Sweet, Liveblocks and others. Mainly, it being built as a library (and framework) allows you to build in assumptions for your application. Just this weekend I had a short talk about it at FOSDEM. Let me know if you are interested!
