Hello! I am interested in this repo. It's great. And Can teletype-crdt work with other wysiwyg editor, like CKEditor? I want to apply teletype-crdt to wysiwyg editors, so that they can collaborative editing. Can you give me some advice? Thank u 😊

Probably not. This CRDT is for text. A wysiwyg editor’s underlying model isn’t text, it’s a tree (with nodes and properties to represent rich text).

@aslakhellesoy Ok. So I can only apply teletype-crdt to a plain text editor? I really want to use teletype-crdt to make a demo about collaborative editing. Can you give me some tips or something about teletyp-crdt applying to atom? Thank u 😊

@as-cii: When you have a moment, would you mind sharing your thoughts on this issue?

The Operational Transformation (usually abbreviated OT) is another solution for collaborative editor. The ot.js is an implement of OT. Expanding the OT with attributes can make the rich text editor collaboratively. And the firepad do that.

Hello @YingshanDeng! Like @aslakhellesoy explained, teletype-crdt is a CRDT that exposes APIs that work only with plain text and markers. A WYSIWYG editor has a more complex structure than just text, so you will need to enhance it in such a way that can support your use case.

I am going to close this for now, as we are not interested in providing such support in the library at this time. Thanks for the feedback!
