## Challenge: Implementing Real-Time Collaboration

**Current Approach:**
- Attempted to use WebSocket connections
- Tried implementing operational transforms
- Considered using CRDTs but found implementation complex

**Target Audience:**
- Teams of researchers collaborating on notes
- Students working on group projects

**Suggested Solution:**
1. **Hybrid Architecture:**
   - Use WebSockets for real-time connection
   - Implement a conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) for note content
   - Use operational transforms for cursor positions

2. **Code Snippet for WebSocket Integration:**
```javascript
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://your-server.com');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // Handle incoming changes
};
```

3. **Conflict Resolution Strategy:**
   - Implement last-write-wins for metadata
   - Use CRDTs for text content
   - Implement operational transforms for cursor positions

4. **Performance Considerations:**
   - Debounce rapid changes
   - Implement differential sync
   - Consider using binary diffs for large notes

5. **Security Measures:**
   - Implement authentication
   - Use end-to-end encryption
   - Validate all incoming data

**Next Steps:**
1. Set up WebSocket server
2. Implement basic CRDT for text
3. Test with small user group
4. Iterate based on feedback
