iroh-loro demo

A peer-to-peer collaborative text editing demo that uses iroh for p2p networking and loro for CRDT-based text synchronization.

This demo only works for 2 peers and a single text file at the moment

Usage

The demo supports two modes: serving a file (hosting) and joining an existing session.

Hosting a File

To start hosting a file for collaborative editing:

cargo run -r serve <FILE_PATH>

This will:

1. Start watching the specified file for changes
2. Print your Node ID that others can use to connect
3. Automatically sync changes on the given text file with any peers that join

Joining a Session

To join an existing collaborative editing session:

cargo run -r join <REMOTE_NODE_ID> <LOCAL_FILE_PATH>

Where:

• REMOTE_NODE_ID is the Node ID printed by the host
• LOCAL_FILE_PATH is where you want to save the synchronized file locally
