If you have a question about this talk, please contact Gemma Gordon.

We have implemented a JSON -like data structure for building collaborative applications in JavaScript. The data can be modified concurrently by different users on different devices, and merged again automatically, without having to manually resolve conflicts. (It’s a CRDT , in case that means something to you.) We have integrated it with WebRTC for peer-to-peer collaboration, and built a sample app (a Trello clone) on top. And it’s open source: https://github.com/automerge/automerge

In this talklet I’ll give a demo, and explain where we’re going with this.
