A collaborative text editor implementing
Neil Fraser's
differential synchronization algorithm
as a Python server with a JS client. The implementation is functionally
complete, but does not address all the network failure scenarios considered
by Fraser. A caveat is in order: The project was conceived as an
experiment in using coroutines/continuations in Python. I haven't had
a chance to clean or tighten up the code since.
The Docker container includes all dependencies.
