Integrating a crdt

[av8ta]

Hey nice project! Have you considered where someone hook in to implement collaborative features with a crdt? In the dispatchTransaction method maybe? Or perhaps as an extension? I like the idea of having the canonical representation of document state be the unist tree with the crdt managing the tree for replication. Does that make sense for this library?

Hi, I am not really well-versed in CRDTs, but my thoughts:

• CRDTs are out of sope ot this package - the package is just a bridge between the worlds of ProseMirror and Unified.
• Your idea of having the unist tree be the "canonical representation" sound right to me.
• At the same time, I can't find any CRDT implementation for unist, probably because unist isn't directly meant for editors, where CRDTs are the most useful
• Given that ProseMirror supports collaborative editing with CRDTs, I would just go with that instead...
