Hi josephg, I'm a CRDT researcher. This is great to see so much work around CRDT nowadays! Some optimizations whom you discuss are already proposed by some papers and implementations. For instance, LogootSplit [1] proposes an implementation based on an AVL tree with extra metadatas to get a range tree. LogootSplit proposes also a block-wise approach that stores strings instead of individual characters. Xray [2], an experimental editor built by Github and written in Rust, uses a copy-on-write B-tree. Teletype [3] uses a splay tree to speedup local insertions/deletions based on the observation that a user performs several edits on the same region.

What open source alternatives are there to LiveShare? I've become rather reliant on LiveShare, I had never checked whether each extension I was using was open source. Teletype for Atom appears to be under an MIT license, and it seemed to work fine for me before I switched to VS Code (after M$ acquired Github and I figured Atom was doomed). https://github.com/atom/teletype
