Re:Sayou – Open-source Dropbox for AI agents by syumpx on Thursday February 19, 2026 @09:21AM (#47074023)
Current approach is last-write-wins with version history - simple but doesn’t solve concurrent edits.

I don’t think auto-merge is the right default for prose/research (unlike code where Git’s merge works). When Agent A writes strategic memo concluding X while Agent B writes concluding NOT-X, merging both is worse than surfacing the conflict.

Thinking the right model is: ∙ Optimistic writes (current behavior) for most cases ∙ Explicit locks for high-stakes docs agents know they’re collaborating on ∙ Diff tooling for post-hoc resolution when conflicts do occur

thanks for asking a great question. whats your thoughts?
