Realtime collaborative text editing is a field, that has been extensively researched and developed in a Conflict-free Replicated Data Types communities. No wonder: it's the most widely used application of CRDTs in practice. While we're still in the early days of CRDTs (I believe), but when you take a look at the actual products, most of them nowadays use algorithms like YATA, RGA or Fugue, which all share many things in common. Fractional Indexes dropped out of favour when it comes to text edi

Today we'll be talking about fractional indexes, how to scale them to efficiently support millions of entries with minimal memory footprint and how to encode them efficiently. We'll also cover some do...

I have published a draft proposal describing an interoperable method for binding atproto users to Iroh endpoints they can be reached from, for use in social P2P applications: This is an open reques...

Turso is becoming the LLVM of databases: one modern, reliable Rust core with many SQL frontends. After rewriting SQLite, we are now building Postgres.

Ysr (read: wiser) is yet another implementation of Yjs/Yrs Conflict-free Replicated Data Type libraries, used for building collaborative applications. The twist here is that this time we're moved from...
