Yjs looks interesting; I'm currently building a management UI that for now is a very straightforward set of REST APIs and a database, but there's a lot of concerns about people editing the same configuration simultaneously; I wonder if something like yjs can be used to create a collaborative editing environment.
I'd probably have to re-architect the whole front- and back-end though. Although on the other hand, there will be some code editors (currently using Monaco) where this could be usable.
My understanding of CRDT is that it shines the most when you have collaborative documents. For a mgmt UI along the lines of "listen on port X, log at level Y" where does CRDT become handy? Wouldn't you just want "last writer wins" for that sort of use case?
