Why do Webdevs keep trying to kill REST?
Better protocols lead to improved UX (eliminating user-facing errors and offering faster updates) and DX (shifting errors left) and they're so relevant to the "why are you avoiding REST" debate that I split them out to their own category. Technically of course, whatever protocol you use may be a layer atop of REST - if you have a separate layer (like CRDTs) that handles syncing/conflict resolution, then that is the protocol you are really using.

Show HN: Bike – macOS Native Outliner
I think you could encode a “shelf” last-write-wins CRDT into your HTML using data attributes without exploding your file size. You would need to add a data-version attribute, and if you want to support hand-editing or editing by programs that don’t understand the CRDT, a CRC32 or other parity as data-parity so your loader can tell when a user might have edited a row without updating data-version.
Shelf is really simple - the JS implementation is tiny (https://github.com/dglittle/shelf) and a walkthrough of the algorithm here: https://bartoszsypytkowski.com/shelf-crdt/amp/
It wouldn’t handle character level sync - but would let you merge documents at a rows/items/blocks level.

Downsides of Offline First
The CRDT I was referencing was Shelf by Greg Little. He's given a few talks about it at the braid meetups. When he first showed it off, Kevin Jahns (the Yjs author) was also there and was as impressed as I was:

The code is all here. Its tiny:
