Collaborative document editing, with Quill-based front end

Bayou

Bayou is a collaborative document editor, which uses Quill on the front end. It includes synchronization of document state across multiple clients. It is a work in progress.

Theory of operation

See the client state diagram for an overview of how the system operates from the client's perspective. This is a straightforward (fairly unsurprising) operational-transform implementation.

See the document structure diagram for an outline of how data is represented and stored.
