What are you using to synchronize state across users? Operational transformation, conflict free replicated data types?

We use roomservice.dev which indeed uses JSON CRDT types.
Oh very cool, thanks!
Ya, I'm tinkering on some collaborative apps of my own, so I'd love to hear about this... I'm _assuming_ CRDT with json types?
My research has led me to the JS library "automerge" which uses JSON CRDTs and is actually one of Martin Kleppmann's projects. I was watching one of his talks when I realized he was talking about the library automerge which I'd already come across but hadn't strongly considered. I know it's a little bit of a fallacy (appeal to authority) but seeing that he built it really sold it for me.
