Finally read the Ink & Switch piece on "Local-First Software". It's cool, but I came away from it disappointed: this was published over four years ago—why is everyone still using Google Docs for collaborative editing? Where's my markdown editor?

Makes me wonder if a similar approach of leveraging doc and would work in case of github.com/nimmen/crdt-sqlite which is a vaguely similar sort of thing, for sqlite (at least one big difference being that the kinds of CRDTs supported by yjs are far more powerful). I imagine the wasm compilation mode might not be workable / attractive to build this way.

pg_crdt from integrates and in a Postgres extension to implement based syncing at the DB level.
Indirectly, the fact you have the flexibility to stick extensions like this in a Supabase application and it works at all cleanly with the pre-existing Realtime feature is a pretty good sign re: its design as far as flexibility.
