> This is great, I love local-first [1] software.

Thanks! This was an intentional design decision on the desktop too so I'm glad someone noticed!

> Are you using OT or CRDTs for real-time editing?

You know this is embarrassing - it's the first time I've heard of those terms and from a quick google I really needed this a few months ago! A lot of the problems described I actually had to battle with and if you try hard enough, you can get the calcs to break state between the users.

I'll definitely dive deeper into this, thanks!

> Are you using any specific cross-desktop platform? (Electron?)

Yeah sure - the app was initially written in React.js for web, and I just did a few modifications to get it deployed via Electron. Tbh the migration was quite straight forward (there were a few design tweaks and UI elements I had to make) but surprisingly the most difficult part was creating the binaries and submitting them to the app stores!

There was also some issue with CORS (due to Electron using local .html file) but managed to find some code to rewrite the headers which fixed it!
