Hi Mark, Thanks for your interest! Off the CRDT libraries we analysed, Y.js was the one we picked up as it very modular, so that we could create our own connector and database layer. These are all open-source: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/y-ipfs-connector and the encryption layer wrapping the database adaptor: https://github.com/pgte/y-indexeddb-encrypted/tree/encrypted About the richtextdetails, the CRDT is based off of Quill.js deltas (https://github.com/quilljs/delta), composed by an array of such operations. Anyway, this is all interim work, and we plan on making this independent of any specific library by implementing a generic CRDT on top of IPFS DAG and Pubsub APIs. If you're interested you can follow / chime in here: https://github.com/ipfs/research-CRDT/issues/11

Hi Mark, Congratz on developing Gun! I've looked at it before and I was super impressed! The decision to use Y.js instead was done due to its modularity. We added IPFS support by simply publishing a connector https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/y-ipfs-connector which Kevin Jahns later added to the list of connectors - https://github.com/y-js/yjs/issues/77 We have linked Y.js from the page header, if you click the word CRDT it takes you to Y.js directly. Nevertheless, I agree that we need to make it more obvious How we appreciate all the work that Kevin has put into Y.js :) Do not worry, PeerPad nor our CRDT usage is finished, there will be a lot more! (In fact, PeerPad was built with little less than 4 weeks of actual dev time, there is so much more we can do). I'm following up by email, I'm interested in testing Gun as well. Meanwhile, join
