I would try to look for academic papers on the topic. Even if you can’t find an exact match, papers typically have a section that describes other related work. You can also scan through the citations to see if anything might be a match. If

This is super cool! One suggestion I have is to try to optimize the arrangement of the cut-outs to use the paper more efficiently. In some cases I think up to 2x the cut-outs could fit on a page. You may also want to consider trying to arra

For single server/database web-apps, CRDTs might be useful because they allow offline edits, and (to me at least) they are simple to understand and implement. OT does allow offline edits too, but (I think) has poor performance if there
