Much appreciate seeing the huge wave of new local-first libraries/tools !

Maybe someone can explain how this compares to other solutions like y.js or automerge ?

Gladly! Automerge on its own is just a library that makes local-first data structures possible.

Ethersync uses this library for a concrete purpose: Collaborating on local text files. We wrote editor plugins and a daemon that runs on your computer, to enable you to type in plaintext files/source code together, from the editors you already know.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
