This looks very compelling from a DX perspective — especially the “local JSON that just syncs” mental model.

Just curious - What conflict resolution model are you using (CRDTs / OT / something else), and how deterministic is it under concurrent offline edits?

you mean node ?

Yeah, that matches my experience too — Chrome gets you ~80% there, but the missing pagination primitives push you into extra layers like paged.js.

I’ve also hit issues with tables and page breaks.

Curious if TOC was the main blocker for you, or if there were other cases where Chrome alone didn’t hold up.

That makes sense. Have you run into any pain points once documents got large or more structured (tables, headers/footers, multi-page), or has HTML held up fine for you so far?
