Add support for dynamic documents #117

Open csillag opened 10 years ago

csillag commented 10 years ago

Currently, we can only properly handle static documents. Any document changes remove our ability to react properly.

However, many news portals use dynamic methods to load content, sometimes on scrolling, and to support annotating that content, we need to support dynamic pages.

Fortunately, we have (or at least had) 99% ready code that is smart enough to recognize document changes, and

These abilities make it possible to support modern news portals, and to use real-time collaboration where both the document contents and the annotations change on the fly.

This depends on #116.
