Red

This is my simple terminal-based multiplayer text editor that uses CRDTs for synchronization and conflict resolution. This is an extension of what I learned at Replit and recent learnings from jazz.tools about multiplayer experiences.

This is built using Bun, Protocol Buffers, and gRPC for the backend and a simple terminal frontend written using Ink. The editor supports simple text editing features like cursor movement, text insertion, and deletion. It synchronizes clients on first-load and stores the document history in a SQLite database.

You can view the API definition in the packages/proto directory and the backend implementation in the apps/server.

Installation

To install the editor, you can run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/rayhanadev/red.git
cd red
bun install

Usage

To start the server, run the following command:

cd apps/server
bun dev

To start a client, run the following command:

cd apps/client
bun dev
