Question for you, how come you didn't use CDRT like yjs? It could simplify the codebase

Good question — before diving into the project, I did have the chance to choose. I looked into both OT and CRDTs and found that OT is widely used in collaborative editors like Google Docs, so I leaned that way. I wouldn’t say it was a deeply informed decision — I just had more reference points for OT at the time. I think with more hands-on experience with CRDTs, I’d be better equipped to weigh the trade-offs more clearly
Well done on this! I will keep an eye on the project
