Interesting product. What do you use for the backend sync? I see CRDT so I assume Y.js?
I’m building a Y.js sync server: https://github.com/nperez0111/teleportal

Yeah, we use yjs and a fork of y-sweet [0]. We have a custom-built control plane that allows us to support many different types of relay server configurations (including self hosting, multi-tenant, per-relay, per-document) and optimize for cost.
Your project looks cool -- especially sub-document support -- thanks for sharing
There are also plugins like make.md [1] that are focused more on making the UX feel more like notion.
