3 sourcesOctoBase: Local-first, collaborative data engine written in Rust
1 points · Open discussionOctobase is a new CRDT back-end data synchronizer written in Rust that I am evaluating for a project.
It seems quite practical for multi-player document editing and collaboration.
Currently AGPLv3 licensed but is apparently changing to MPLv2 once fully stable, as per the License section on the GitHub readme
