Looks really awesome!

Thanks! If you end up using telepat and have any questions / feedback, feel free to ping us @ founders@telepat.io

Great work on the architecture documentation. I'm looking at your repos on Github and I'm curious about something. What are you using to test telepat-api, workers, and the integration with all the third party projects listed in the docs?

We're using a combination of should, assert, supertest, mocha and istambul right now. We're still working on a larger code coverage, but we will be releasing the tests along with our next release.

Which strategy do you use to sync data? (e.g. in the context of collaborative editing)

Collaborating on different properties of a single object is no problem; for working on the same property we don't do diff/merge yet, it's just FIFO.

So if two users are working on the same textfield there is no way to merge their changes at the moment?

How do they make money?

1) Professional/Consulting services and support for paid users 2) Hosted version (SAAS) 3) Book deal 4) Paid client/server plugins for additional functionality 5) Get "aqui-hired" 6) Enterprise version that's more stable and battle tested 7) etc...

Number 2 is coming up first, later this fall: public cloud with a generous free tier for developers and some paid ones for companies that scale.

We'll share updates along the road, meanwhile - we're eager to talk to developers that are tackling real-time and refine the product together.

Not yet - unless you do it client-side. We're working on having a proper implementation for this use case.
