Great write-up! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

This is incredibly similar to the way we did multi-user simultaneous editing in https://Clara.io back in 2013/2014. It was also a tree-based OT-like system, but there was a few differences.

I also wonder if you guys studied how we did it...



I worked at Salesforce then and we had this from an acquired company: https://web.archive.org/web/20140625063431/https://goinstant...

A lot of folks were using it to add "Multiplayer" to our apps.


Hey. Clara.io is fantastic.

What's the current state of play with it?


It was challenging to make money from students on the web -- which is the main demographic using Clara.io. It is sort of a selfless thing unfortunately.

So the parent company, Exocortex, pivoted towards 3D ecommerce and introduced the threekit.com brand aimed directly at that market.

It has been working okay: https://venturebeat.com/2019/01/10/threekit-raises-10-millio...
