Most of the CRDT examples I've seen appear to be Electron apps e.g. https://github.com/automerge/pushpin.

My understanding is that CRDT's rely on having a safe place to store data on the user's machine (otherwise it's a bit like doing a `git clone` to receive new data, rather than a `git pull`).

Is this not a major limitation for people hoping to use it for web apps?

Thanks for sharing, nice to see djb (netstrings in c-s-exps) shine through from far below.

I wonder about the energy consumption aspect of content adressing. Redundancy eats resources.

I know that YJS is a common library that people use for using CRDTS in the browser and web-apps.
