So exciting! Strangely enough, a couple of hours before this release, we just managed to wrap our heads around Yjs after playing with it on and off for a few weeks!

For anyone not up to date with the world of CRDTs, Seph Gentle's two blog posts have become legendary:

* https://josephg.com/blog/crdts-are-the-future/

* https://josephg.com/blog/crdts-go-brrr/

these are also worth checking out:

* https://github.com/y-crdt/y-crdt (rust implementation started by the creator of Yjs, Kevin Jahns)

* https://github.com/y-crdt/ypy (python bindings for the rust implementation)

* https://github.com/josephg/diamond-types (Seph Gentle's rust implementation of YATA, the algorith behind Yjs)
