I have implemented a CRDT system and have also blogged about it afterwards. So I can confirm this.

Joking aside though, CRDTs are still a pretty esoteric space and all the various blog posts came in handy when I was researching how to build my own CRDT.

Most of the resources I've seen on CRDTs are from whitepapers and those can be difficult to read if you don't have a math background. I gave a talk at a Papers We Love [1] explicitly because I found the academic papers a big turn off from many people interested in the space.

What method did you use to determine which/if anyone implementing CRDTs did not write a blog post?

Or did you observe that 100% of the people who blogged about CRDTs implemented CRDTs and then wrote a blog post?

Hehe, or even writing a paper!

The link takes you to our Merkle-CRDTs paper, which includes a nice intro to CRDTs in general, so no prior knowledge needed!
