Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDT)

Lots of the comments here seem to be about why do you need CRDT when so many solutions can solve collaborative text editing. The biggest bang is for de-centralization or edge based storage similar idea to @josephg (personal computing). Imagine taking multiple hours provisioning your personal compute with all your data and stream the diff across your devices and having an internet that runs off your devices. This would finally allow for a multi device local-first experience…

For those wondering: From the site: " Conflict-free Replicated Data Type (CRDT) is a data structure that simplifies distributed data storage systems and multi-user applications. In many systems, copies of some data need to be stored on multiple computers (known as replicas). Examples of such systems include: Mobile apps that store data on the local device, and that need to sync that data to other devices belonging to the same user (such as calendars, notes, contacts, or reminders); Distributed databases…

Interesting, but there is very little information in the linked paper regarding implementations and the practical performance of CRDTs. There are tons of references, so I presume this is a literature summary?
