sharedb

Looks like a CRDT/Operational Transform server/pubsub as a service. There are also some open source frameworks on GitHub which doesn't depend on Azure. https://github.com/automerge/automerge https://github.com/share/sharedb

> Are you thinking something like ShareDB? https://github.com/share/sharedb Ah - I didn't have anything quite that powerful in mind, more like fairly simple, browser-local enhancements to make interacting with regular old HTML pages more pleasant. For example a drop-in library that would save the state of a form and restore it on a refresh, like the old formsaver jQuery plugin. I would like to see an ecosystem of libraries like that again

Another is: DerbyJS, Racer, and ShareDB who have been fighting for this future for what feels like forever, but meteorjs just torched it from a popularity perspective, in the the event-driven server-side rendering realm. Despite giving a much worse end user experience, it was more popular with developers. Is Lever really the only company using Derby? https://github.com/derbyjs/derby https://github.com/derbyjs/racer https://github.com/share/sharedb https://derbyjs.com/

Right? Are you thinking something like ShareDB? https://github.com/share/sharedb As a person who is browsing the web, I do want server rendered pages, correct history of navigation, urls to match pages, a lack of refreshes, live collaboration with other users. What I dont want is a manual refresh to lose anything or bring me to a different page. And I want the site to work, and progressively fail if I have javascript off. Most interactivity can still be server side. Look at google.com, as you type in a search query, and they return a static update with results matching what youve typed so far.

I'm pretty sure you heard about ShareDB [1]; I wonder, if you're implementing your own solution because there are some limitations in ShareDB. - [1] https://github.com/share/sharedb
