@labibrahman @JohannesMutter @moment_dev Like the editor, sync engine is written from scratch too. Would be fun to do a write up sometime but first trying to get beta out ;)

The best API is no API. Instead of MCPs and CLIs, Markdown Mirror will let agents edit state directly through files while the app translates those changes into multiplayer operations behind the scenes. Files as the API.

That’s right, so to clarify the idea is you can have a collaborative (online) doc while your existing agents and other tools can also work on it (without the tools knowing about the app/editor or using apis) through a local file-based projection. Most agents don’t save keystrokes but just use patch to change a bunch of lines in a file which is fine. Whatever they do, changes are merged back in automatically (and vice versa) without a git-like commit/conflict-stage which just isn’t great ux for docs

@BuildWithTom Cool! Thanks, it’s not purely file based though, because we want to combine conflict-free real-time collaboration, local-first and web access, so the sync engine and mirror bridge those

@andreaskweber @burdiyan It’s quite a bit different from syncthing because the idea behind the mirror and the app sync engine is to map local file edits to crdt-like operations / real-time collab

@labibrahman @JohannesMutter @moment_dev The in-app editor itself is real-time multiplayer (not prosemirror though, but custom written from scratch). The markdown mirror is a projection with two-way sync, so when you save a file on disk (or just type in the app’s editor), changes are merged in

The biggest difference is that llms are already trained on manipulating files, using grep/sed/awk or built-in harness tools and markdown flavors/frontmatter. So worst case you need to add a very small skill/spec file, but it doesn’t need to burn context on calling tools or reading cli help output. And it’s convenient for humans and interop with other tools too

@b04zy It tries to map file lines back to guids the app has using (tree) position and contents hashes, then merges if changed on both sides (app+file). Last-writer-wins but full version history.

@burdiyan Just fs watching. Considered fuse, even nfs/sshfs, but not so convenient cross-platform

@abue_ammar Absolutely! We’ve been alpha testing with a small group and are working through the last things to fix/add (like ios testflight) before opening up the gates for beta

What if agents could just write to local files and changes show up in a real-time multiplayer web app?

@ibrycb 💯 agents already know how to work with files, and with real-time collab on top it's best of both worlds
