We haven't published the sources yet, it will appear on https://github.com/okdb-io soon.
Looks like Operational Transformation is getting popular on HN lately, I have a question on another topic though - wondering how would you connect such systems to an existing infrastructure and especially authentication, to enforce user permissions/roles, etc.
Yes, I hope that realtime apps will be our future :)
Regarding integration - okdb provides hooks, so that you can implement custom authentication/verification, e.g. verify JWT token. For details, have a look at the docs here - https://okdb.io/p/docs/api/server#s5.1
Happy to answer any other questions

Why did you choose to use Postgres firsthand as opposed to other SQL/NoSQL solutions?
Postgres has advanced dramatically in last years and is mostly a default choice in our consulting projects. Take, for example native support for row-level security - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/ddl-rowsecurity.html
However, we are going to support other databases like Mongo and MySQL.

Hi HN, I'm the author of okdb - wrote it to make it easier to create collaborative apps.
sharedb + postgres?
yes, we forked and customized sharedb under the hood, more databases and out-of-the-box functions for collaboration are in progress.
Anyone know where the source code is hosted?
