ForkSync: Data Harmony for Open Code

Developers of open platforms struggle to keep shared data consistent when each contributor maintains a separate code copy that can diverge with new features. ForkSync provides a real‑time schema versioning and data synchronization layer that locks shared data contracts, automatically merges changes, and ensures every fork stays in sync without compromising autonomy.

I mean, I'm assuming that any sort of significant feature requires some sort of change to the data model, and even with a schema-less database you could have conflicts if two things use the same field name, for instance? Also what happens with updates? Like, part of IT is keeping people up to date, but if everyone has their own bespoke customizations how do you not clobber those?Also the security story d
