We should support the real-time collaborative editing capabilities of Hypermerge.Text. I suspect this should be possible because there's the VSCode Live extension which seems to do something similar but we need to look into how it's implemented to learn from it.

We discussed approaches here and pvh prototyped something on a special (.text) key but the real-timey-ness feels weird when other fields don't have it.

Some things to figure out:

  • should everything be per-character real-time editing?
  • how to render Automerge.Text in general? (a big array with weird keys is not ideal)
  • should we have a separate "branch" for real-time editing and merge on save to the "stable" branch? this would be neat.

Anyway deferred to post-CDMX
