Creating a collaborative app using CRDTs

Honestly, CRDTs are quite complicated to understand. No amount of blog posts, research papers or diagrams will truly click (for most).

And like somebody else said in comments, most articles on CRDTs assumes the audience are math people. I'm working on a series of blog posts that slowly uncover how real-time collaboration algorithms and data-structures work – with all the necessary math concepts explained in simple terms first. Will publish them out as soon as they take a good shape.

I agree it is quite difficult to explain these concepts in simple terms. I spent a lot of time reading academic papers, as well as reading blog posts in order to grasp these concepts.

Good luck with your articles, where can I read them once you have published them?

True but I was commenting on the writing, not the concepts.
