Re: Creating a Collaborative Editor
#2I took a different approach btw building collaborative editing in WordPress core editor. Knowing about OT/CRDT but decided to go with the approach here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/1877
Might be useful to you as this is react/redux.

#3I'm confused here, Quill has a a very nice OT solution built-in to solve collaborative issue: https://github.com/quilljs/delta
Why not leverage that solution than just saying OT is incorrect and roll out a rudimentary solution? CRDT is not something easier, OT and CRDT are just 2 different beasts with different trade-offs.

#4My Bachelor Thesis was implementing an operational transformation algorithm for tree structures (JSON objects) and evaluate it. Always thought about going back to it and build it into a usable application.

Maybe I should clarify. From my understanding OT is correct when used with a client-server model. But if you have read the research a lot has happened since the first OT paper was published. The OT algortihm works well even for Google Docs and other open source solutions.

#6> Operational Transformation (OT) is one of those algorithms, which have been evolving over time, as versions of it have been proven incorrect.
Source or explanation required.
Also, this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.01302
I guess that you can argue for both sides :). But they are just different solutions. Basing on my experience and on what I read it is simply unfair saying that one is incorrect and other is correct (or one is better and the other is worse).

Maybe I should have phrased it better. OT was first introduced a long time ago, a quick search on Google Scholar and you will find papers from the 90s. Since then the algorithm has evolved and improved. I did not say it was better. I think CRDTs are easier to understand, but that's my opinion :)

I think you would find willing collaborators! Cool thesis. Pretty significant job :)

That’s a great paper! Recommended if only for how much fun it is :)
(Maybe that’s just me of course :) Only one way to find out ...)

The algorithm already existed I just implemented it in js with a node server.
