Peeredit - A collaborative text editor to illustrate CRDTs

Peeredit is a simple Web app that lets you edit some text online with friends.

This is example code for a talk on CRDTs.

• Server code is in index.js.

• Browser code is in index.html.

• They share a data structure defined in lib/rga.js.

Is this unnecessarily complicated? There are several simpler approaches, but they all have problems: see Clobberation, Quilljoy, and Univax.

How to run Peeredit

$ npm install
$ npm run start

Then point your browser at http://localhost:3001/ .

(Note to myself: do nvm use 6 first!)

Use Mocha to run the tests. If you don't already have Mocha, you can avoid installing it globally by using this hack instead:

$ npm install mocha
$ ./node_modules/.bin/mocha
