I really love Automerge, had some fun in the last months with building some small experiment. Some major problem I see currently is the lacking ecosystem.

I had to roll my own persistence implementation on top of IndexedDB and I still haven’t touched the backend synchronization part.

I would love to see Y.js or Automerge more throughly supported by a wider ecosystem of elements that make building a production app easier.

Y.js has pretty good integrations with editors. What would you wanted to see in particular?

BTW Rust port of Y.js might be start of something rather wild. :)

I agree but they do seem quite focused and have made a lot of headway over the last year or so when I first started following the project. I think switching to a rust backend was the right move and will open the project up to a lot more platforms than other implementations.
Looks like both Y.js or Automerge communities are busy with benchmarks
