@dmonad @georeith is there a reason why this is not getting merged? I mean, what are the downsides to do that?

P.S. We are building a product on top of yjs, and right now figuring out all the persistence layers needed, please share if there is any guides available, as for now I am mostly reading source code and experimenting, which is fine, but I feel that I miss some fundamentals

@dmonad friendly bump! I'm also considering using this library, but trying to assess the stability/risks of committing to it.

I realize you have said you do not have time to actively work on this, but are there perhaps some other people in https://opencollective.com/y-collective that could help ensure that pull requests get promptly reviewed/merged?

If not, how could this situation be helped? Stepping up as a potential maintainer? Contributions? Something else?
