We're working on an app [1] which needs to deal with this, but in general it also makes git less suitable for things like outliners or other collaborative text editors where people can work on lists, tables, and so on (structured data basically).

Nice outline of the various techniques. We've built something in-between the operation-based and delta-based approaches for our offline-first multiplayer "IDE for notes/tasks" [1]. In our case we have a central server which periodically creates snapshots. Although we don't do that right now, if needed, it could delete older operations from the log for space reasons. Except for the fact that replicas encrypt their... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Right, there are quite some collaborative applications for which a hybrid approach is useful. We're building a collaborative editor (https://thymer.com) for example, where the underlying data structure is also a tree (as the text documents also support outliner-like features, so a flat list of characters/lines isn't enough). To avoid tree conflicts, insert and move operations look more like OT than CRDT however,... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

We’re building an "IDE for notes/tasks" [1], so as an editor of sorts, UI snappiness matters a lot for us too. The approach we’re taking is to basically split up the app in two parts (we refer to these parts as "frontend" and "backend", but they are both on the client). The frontend does all the rendering for the editor, which we want to stay within the frame budget. That's why we offload all data synchronization... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Https://braintool.org/ works really well, saves everything in plain text, works especially well for us Emacs/org-mode freaks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

BrainTool does exactly this. It allows you to quickly save and categorize tabs and then open or close the whole category in a tab group with a click. Source: almost 2 years ago

FWIW I built BrainTool to solve exactly this kind of problem. Check it out and get in under the wire before I launch the paid version! (PS I'd love feedback.). Source: almost 2 years ago
