@janl@narrativ.es @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social Real-time collaboration and offline-first have one thing in common: potential order dependency of independent edits. This is what CRDTs solve.

@Ardubal@mastodon.xyz @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social yeah, but “indefinite” replay is rather expensive. I’d say, roughly, that CRDTs are good at intermittent connectivity (think a train coming in and out of cell coverage), while offline-first tech would allow for “laptop is offline for a week while collecting data in the jungle”.
