The article discusses an alternative approach to collaborative text editing that avoids using Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) or Operational Transformation (OT). It emphasizes server reconciliation as a simpler method compared to the complex algorithms used in CRDTs for managing concurrent edits. The main advantage noted is the reduced complexity, but there are reasons to question whether server reconciliation indeed simplifies the process, given the need to manage local edits. Device UUID (UUIDv7) performance implications are also hinted at, suggesting ongoing exploration in this area.
