Ink & Switch (opens in a new tab): The principles of Local-first Software have greatly influenced this project. The Peritext (opens in a new tab) project has also shaped our approach to rich text CRDTs.
Diamond-types (opens in a new tab): The ingenious OT-like merging algorithm from @josephg (opens in a new tab) has been adapted to reduce the computation and space usage of CRDTs.
Automerge (opens in a new tab): Their use of columnar encoding for CRDTs has informed our strategies for efficient data encoding.
Yjs (opens in a new tab): We have incorporated a similar algorithm for effectively merging collaborative editing operations, thanks to their pioneering contributions.
Matthew Weidner (opens in a new tab): His work on the Fugue (opens in a new tab) algorithm has been invaluable, enhancing our text editing capabilities.
