Fortunately, with the support of the real-time collaboration framework Yjs and the local database available to browsers known as IndexedDB, you too can implement robust offline-first applications that not only enable peer-to-peer collaborative editing but also represent a wholesale revolution in the ways in which we interact with not only content management systems (CMS) but also web applications at large.

For many developers, the concept of offline-enabled applications leads to anxiety and panic. But the pain is over thanks to the multiplicity of benefits provided by the pairing of emerging web technologies like the open-source real-time collaboration framework known as Yjs and the local database technology ideal for offline solutions known as IndexedDB.
