Description

We should explore whether CRDT libraries (e.g. Automerge/YJS) could be used side-by-side / integrated with LiveStore to handle specific use cases such as rich text editing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate CRDT libraries (Automerge/YJS) with LiveStore's reactive SQLite model. Focus on syncing CRDT data for rich text editing while preserving LiveStore's reactivity and real time sync capabilities.
