01 Project Overview

Synapse enables engineering teams to co-author architectural specs, technical documentation, and API contracts in real-time with zero lag and offline-first durability.

02 The Challenge

Resolving concurrent editing conflicts smoothly when multiple developers edit the same document simultaneously or reconnect from offline mode.

03 Technical Solution & Architecture

Implemented Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) over WebSockets with client-side IndexedDB caching for robust offline resilience.

04 Key Features & Engineering Highlights

  • Conflict-free multi-user live editing with presence indicators
  • Markdown and code block syntax highlighting with instant preview
  • Granular document revision history and rollback capabilities
  • End-to-end data encryption for confidential team spaces
