Collaborative rich text editor using CRDTs on top of Firebase (Realtime Database).
First, install Node.js. Then run npm i.
For RTDB: import rtdb_initial_data.json (necessary because Quill assumes the text always includes at least an ending "\n").
Build the server from src/, with browser-facing content in development mode.
You must pass the FirebaseOptions object (for initializeApp) in the FIREBASE_CONFIG env var, as a JSON string.
Build the server from src/, with browser-facing content in production mode (smaller output files; longer build time; no source maps).
You must pass the FirebaseOptions object (for initializeApp) in the FIREBASE_CONFIG env var, as a JSON string.
Run the server. Open http://localhost:3000/ to view. Use multiple browser windows at once to test collaboration.
The port can be configured with the PORT environment variable. It defaults to 3000.
