Wow, this is impressive! A collaborative text editor in less than 200 lines of code? I can't wait to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting! I've been wondering how to implement real-time collaboration in our internal tools. Any advice on the architecture would be appreciated.

@TechGuru It's pretty straightforward – just a simple CRDT combined with WebSockets for communication. I'll write a blog post about it soon.

@creator1 That's great! I'd love to see that blog post when it's up.

I wish I had seen this earlier! It would have helped with a project I'm working on. Do you have any plans for making this into an open-source library?
creator1 1 year ago next
@user2 I have open-sourced a similar project in the past. This time I plan to release this once it's more polished and tested.

@creator1 Can't wait! I'm looking forward to using it and maybe even contributing.

This looks perfect for my needs! I'm going to test this out and see how I can integrate it into my workflow. Thanks again!

This is so cool! Now I just need a collaborative whiteboard in under 100 lines of code for a complete set of tools. :)

Nicely done! I'm curious if you considered using Operational Transformations (OT) or Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT) for syncing.
creator1 1 year ago next
@user7 Yes, CRDT is what I used here (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types). I'll add a note in the README. Thanks for pointing that out.

@creator1 Awesome! CRDTs can be really powerful for these types of applications. If you need some help testing or reviewing features, let me know.

What about performance tests? Are they part of the demonstration?
creator1 1 year ago next
@user9 I didn't include performance tests in this demo, but I've done some basic testing. I'll make sure to benchmark it in more depth when I have time.

Out of curiosity, could you implement this as a Sublime Text 4 plugin? I think that would be pretty neat.
creator1 1 year ago next
@user10 Sure, I'll see if I can create a plugin for Sublime Text 4. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great to see that small codebase! How would users without technical knowledge install this on their servers?
creator1 1 year ago next
@user11 I'm planning to provide a simple Web-based setup process, and possibly a simple Docker configuration.
user12 1 year ago next
@creator1 That would be great, many users prefer to run things in containers nowadays, easy setup and everything included.

Do you support code syntax highlighting in this editor?
creator1 1 year ago next
@user13 I haven't integrated code syntax highlighting at the moment, but I might add this in the future if I get enough user feedback. I didn't want to increase the line count too much for this demo.
user14 1 year ago next
@creator1 Understandable, most people would probably add an existing library for that much-needed feature anyway. :)
