Opbox Offers CRDT-Based Real-Time Sync for Local Text Files

Opbox debuted as a Show HN project for file synchronization. It uses conflict‑free replicated data types (CRDT) to sync text files. The system works directly on files stored on disk, without a central server. Changes made on one device propagate instantly to others. Opbox handles merge conflicts automatically through CRDT logic. The approach targets developers needing offline collaborative editing. Installation involves adding a lightweight daemon to each machine. Future updates may extend support to additional file formats.
