What Hacker News says

When working with formatted text content like in Google Docs / Zoho Writer: moving a list item down or adding a new column or any table/list operation is essentially a tree manipulation op. Concurrent conflicts in such cases are notoriously hard to converge without contextual special handling [1]. Does this implementation generalize a solution for such use-cases? I guess it should be possible to combine a list(or string) CRDT for leaf nodes (i.e text blocks) and use this tree CRDT for structural nodes (lists & tables). But that will make augmenting every op with two-dimensional address (parent-id, index_offset_into_that_parent) [1] https://github.com/inkandswitch/peritext/issues/27
In Movable tree CRDTs and Loro's implementation
