Have you considered using Operational Transformation or Conflict-free Replicated Data Type algorithms?

I've used Operational Transformation in the past, but it seems overly complex for smaller projects. What do you think?

CRDT really shines when it comes to distributed systems and larger teams. It can be simpler in many cases.

This is really impressive. I've never seen such a well-executed implementation in pure JavaScript.

Thanks for the kind words. I initially went with OT but switched to CRDT for simplicity's sake.
