Pillar 01
Real-time collaboration without merge conflicts. Not eventually consistent. Immediately consistent. Every keystroke, every device, every time.
For teams
Traditional documentation tools force you into lock-step editing — one person writes, everyone else waits. Or worse, everyone writes simultaneously and someone's changes get silently overwritten.
choco.tools uses Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) at the document layer. Every character insertion, deletion, and formatting change is a discrete operation that merges deterministically — no matter the order, no matter the network conditions.
5 writers, 1 document, 0 conflicts
Your entire team can edit the same page simultaneously. Changes merge in real-time.
Offline-first by design
Write on a plane, in a tunnel, on the subway. Your changes sync the moment you reconnect.
Sub-100ms sync latency
Changes propagate across all connected peers in under 100 milliseconds.
No "someone is editing" locks
There are no locks, no checkout, no "merge my changes" buttons.
For business
Documentation delays ship dates. When only one person can write at a time, docs become the bottleneck. CRDT-native collaboration removes that constraint entirely.
3x faster reviews
Writers and reviewers work in the same document simultaneously. No round-trip PRs for typo fixes.
Zero data loss
Every keystroke is persisted locally before syncing. Network failures never cause lost work.
Measurable ROI
Teams report 60% reduction in time-to-publish after switching from lock-based editors.
Under the hood
choco.tools implements Y.js, a high-performance CRDT framework. Each document is a Y.Doc — a shared data structure where operations are commutative and idempotent. This means:
SLO target: <100ms CRDT sync latency | <200ms API response | 99.9% availability
