Making Webapps Collaborative with Composable CRDTs

Explore a groundbreaking approach to creating collaborative web applications in this conference talk from Strange Loop. Learn how to transform frontend data types into "collaborative" versions using Compoventuals, a comprehensive TypeScript library of Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). Discover how to maintain your app's structure and type safety while enabling seamless collaboration, offline work, server-free interactions, and end-to-end encryption. Gain insights from Matthew Weidner, a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, and Heather Miller, an Assistant Professor in CMU's School of Computer Science, as they demonstrate the power of composable CRDTs in simplifying the development of collaborative web applications.
