Hi, I’m currently trying to create a collaborative editing feature for an existing desktop app (Electron based). I’m considering using Yjs for CRDT framework after see the performance comparison between this project and Automerge.
But I’m still not sure if Yjs can be used for extending the functionality of a desktop app. Is it can only be used exclusively for web-based apps? or can I Yjs for my use case? I’m still very new to this kind of collaborative feature development.
Thank you so much for your hard work on this great project
Now I have another question about the provider, is y-websocket is the correct provider to use If I want to make P2P offline-first desktop architecture? Or should I use y-dat for the provider (but It’s still WIP based on the README page)?
Edit: Also I’m afraid I don’t understand what do you mean by editor support? For the context I’m trying to add the feature to this project (I know It’s meant to use only as an offline app, but for now I’m only trying to create a Proof of Concept)
Oh I am, what I meant is that I want to try If I can add a collaborative editing feature to an initially offline-only app, sorry if my explanation was unclear.
Okay I just want to assure myself, thanks a lot for your help @dmonad !
