I’m a bit biased, but I think 2022 will be the year of Y.js. What we’ve done or set up for the next year: * The Y-Collective to fund more and more related projects, like slate-yjs: https://opencollective.com/y-collective https://opencollective.com/y-collective * The Hocuspocus backend you've discovered, which will become public in April or so * A cloud offering we’re bootstrapping to hopefully get even more money into the ecosystem * Y.js core support for the Tiptap editor (900k downloads/month), with a lot more advanced features coming next year * More and more frontend libraries, like SyncedStore which was on the frontpage a few days ago: https://syncedstore.org/docs/ https://syncedstore.org/docs/ * The Y.js Rust port: https://github.com/yjs/y-crdt https://github.com/yjs/y-crdt Exciting times!

I’m biased into Yjs too and bet on it. Yjs Rust port and other simply not ready for the prime and won’t be for a while. Bindings and unsafe Rust is the road to hell

CRDTs (and Y.js especially) will deliver what Google Wave promised. Not as a single unifying UI for communication, rather all existing apps can get collaborative power where it makes sense. And that is a game changer for me – as a user and developer. Exciting times indeed!

How do the performance and features of Yjs compare to Automerge?

  It will depend on your use cases. Better to check updated roadmaps too. The final gap won’t be too big IMHO

I agree with Hans, we are going to see an explosion of collaborative tools next year. And Yjs is best placed to enable them. The ecosystem around Yjs with the Y-collective is so impressive.
