Any whiteboard products? Collaborative drawing would make remote work lovely.
I've just found that Cryptpad offers a whiteboard feature.[1] I know nothing more about them and was just checking them out after seeing the comment in this thread.

Anyone have any experience using the collaboration feature of CKEditor5 they can share?

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know the folks at Overleaf and they're awesome! However, their editor is not open source. But yes, ShareLaTex probably needs a spot on there, though I haven't looked at it in a long while and it seems to be pretty dormant in terms of development: https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex/graphs/contributors Had no idea it had real-time collaboration... Wonder how it's done. Digging in now... :) If you're using it, i…
"seems to be pretty dormant in terms of development" -- that's because Overleaf purchased ShareLaTeX. https://www.overleaf.com/blog/518-exciting-news-sharelatex-i... Also, you might be unaware of CoCalc, which is open source https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc . CoCalc supports collaborative editing of many structured documents, including Jupyter notebooks, but not rich text at present.
Hello, cofounder of Overleaf here.
Just to be clear, open source development of ShareLaTeX is ongoing and indeed has accelerated since Overleaf and ShareLaTeX joined forces. ShareLaTeX is split into many repos, and the one linked above is a 'coordinator' repo that doesn't get updated much. See https://github.com/sharelatex/web-sharelatex for one that is more active.
The free version of Overleaf/ShareLaTeX does have a restriction on the number of collaborators: you plus one other. Paid accounts support more collaborators [1], and you can also get more collaborators on the free account by referring others [2].

#55tmux + vim (akin to Windows Remote Assistance) can be good enough in some situations.

#56I’m new to the topic from a technical point of view. I was wondering if the conflict resolving issues are fundamentally different from online gaming scenarios. I.e., could the ways problems are solved in multiplayer games also be applied to collaborative editors and vice versa?

Good question, but it could be responded to by writing a thesis.

#59Surprised the author didn't mention Quill.js, which works really well with ShareDB, and is fully open source. We've been doing a lot of fun stuff with it - here's a talk I gave recently as a job talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN37rJRmISQ. (It worked, I got hired :)). As a side project, I'm working on a ShareDB backed wiki, where we can use rich text for editing pages, but also other components, like spreadsheets or mindmaps, and everything supports live editing - I think it would be amazing for classrooms, hackathons, any kind of meeting etc. Would love to talk with anyone interested in collaborating. I have been waiting for a few features to complete to make a proper demo video, but this early one shows off some of the ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-lU-in3ydc (https://github.com/chili-epfl/FROG)

Not really. I use tmux + vim on a daily basis, but it starts with having just one cursor. Goes on with not being web-based and in the end, it has no offline collaboration support (that requires some kind of merge strategy).
So yes, there are some use-cases when it is sufficient for collaboration, but most certainly not for the use-cases described in the blog post.
