CRDTs are technically interesting, but I don't know how they solve fundamental merge issues? If a line of text is updated on two independent paths - there is no automatically correct merge decision. Is it just that CRDTs provides systematic merges for automatically resolvable cases?For that matter, I guess I don't use Obsidian sync, so how does Obsidian present merges that may need manual input?

Large collaborative documents slow down when every operation forces full serialization and deserialization, especially as the data grows. SyncCascade replaces those costly roundtrips with an in‑memory CRDT layer that applies complex edits instantly and streams only minimal diffs to Postgres, delivering fast, scalable collaboration without the serialization overhead.
Users of Markdown note apps struggle with sync conflicts and paying for proprietary services, and open‑source alternatives often cannot be self‑hosted due to licensing. MantleSync offers a self‑hosted, CRDT‑based sync layer that guarantees conflict‑free collaboration and full control over data for Markdown note‑taking workflows.
Developers struggle with complex code integration because existing merge tools cap at 3‑way merges, forcing manual, error‑prone workarounds. MergeMosaic delivers a web‑based platform that performs arbitrary multi‑branch merges using a tree‑like workflow, automatically resolving conflicts and providing a single source of truth.
Accountants and developers who maintain Beancount books often rely on manual data pulls that slow their iteration speed and disrupt workflow. LedgerLoop automatically imports bank and transaction data, triggers lightweight review checkpoints, and keeps books 95% automated without sacrificing the valuable touchpoints that keep them engaged.
