Testing CRDTs in Rust, From Theory to Practice
I've been watching automerge-rs like a hawk, because they seem to be the only CRDT implementation where you don't need a Mathematics master to understand how to use it. They've been working on a rewrite for the last two years, hopefully they'll do a new release soon.

Show HN: SyncedStore CRDT – build multiplayer collaborative apps for React / Vue
https://github.com/automerge/automerge-rs
By the way despite that particular repo (@localfirst/state) last being touched 6 months ago, Herb Caudill definitely seems still active in this space (I believe he's been working on other parts of this more recently -- e.g. ideas about authentication), and I think automerge development itself is quite active right now leading up to a 1.0 release which seems fairly imminent, for which a lot of fundamental work has been done, also coordinating with automerge-rs.

I'm hoping this matures a bit more in the next months, seems really promising.

Show HN: Multiplayer Demo Built with Elixir
> CRDTs
definitely. it's one of the primary use-cases we had in mind when developing this, and something we've wanted to offer for a long time. I'm happy to see it popping up early in the comments. We wouldn't offer our own CRDTs, but Realtime can be a nice transport layer for other CRDT implementations (which can then be serialised and persisted to your database)
> YJS powered
I'm also glad to see you're using Yjs - it's very cool. We hope that this implementation can be another Yjs Provider[0] if Kevin is onboard with that. Once that's implemented, you would be able to use it with all the same bindings (i.e. y-monaco).

Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDT)
It's interesting to me that people still doubt that CRDTs can be used in practice. The fact is that they are already being used in practice by many companies with millions of users for applications like rich-text editing to state management in 3d applications. See https://github.com/yjs/yjs#who-is-using-yjs
In fact, Yjs - a CRDT implementation- is the most downloaded solution for collaborative applications. Even more than ShareDB (the most popular OT-based solution).

> the best text automerger still needs manual intervention to avoid creating nonsense
AFAIK the best production-ready CRDT solution for text is Yjs [0], and in some specific cases, the result of the merge might be something unexpected [1]. However, there is Peritext CRDT [2] which is specifically designed to handle styled text in an intuitive way, so the merge is more predictable.
