This is a truly a great insight from how simple things can create industry giants like google docs.

I believe that a lot of problems can be converted into synchronization problems in browsers.

Are there any general synchronization libraries / applications that you suggest within browser / outside browser?

Thanks in advance.

Not OP, but common solutions in this space represent the state as conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs). Some popular browser-based libraries for that are Y.js[0] and Automerge[1].

By the way, for those wanting to do this but in Rust, there is https://crates.io/crates/yrs and https://crates.io/crates/automerge

And Loro [1], relatively new player which recently hit 1.0, with solid performance and some features the others don’t have

Amazing, thanks for the link

What features does Loro have that others lack?
