Why is the talk around CRDTs all about collaborative editing, and less about the more mundane but much more common scenario of multi-master CRUD apps?

#24neat use of SVG as a drawing canvas, would be cool if it supported touch too
Touch support is definitely something I want to add for the canvas and the window positioning/resizing too.

#25Why is the talk around CRDTs all about collaborative editing, and less about the more mundane but much more common scenario of multi-master CRUD apps?
The problem is when it's done with a database and people cannot see all the information at once. So they cannot see which records other people are working on and coordination is problematic.
A traditional CRUD web app in a shared desktop is a poor man solution that works with parallelism one.
Multimaster CRUD would be the same thing accessed by different people on different computers? 3270 terminals, Windows 95 client/server applications, traditional web and SPAs. I might be wrong but the problem is always who's working on what and how to solve that. Plenty of money thrown to that: management is there also to solve that problem. Talking with colleagues is another part of the solution.

#26Could WebRTC be used instead of websockets? Then you wouldn’t need a server (apart from a public STUN/TURN endpoint)
