Real-time Collaborative Code Editor Design

Design a collaborative, web-based code editor similar to VS Code Web. The system must support multi-user real-time editing with cursor presence, syntax highlighting for multiple languages, and a robust offline-first experience. Explain your strategy for conflict resolution when multiple users edit the same line while disconnected, and how you would ensure the UI remains responsive (60FPS) during high-frequency updates and large file loads. Detail your choice of data persistence and the synchronization protocol used to bridge the client and server.

Collaborative Rich-Text Editor Design

Design a real-time collaborative document editor similar to Google Docs or Notion. Your solution should handle multi-user concurrency, conflict resolution, and presence indicators (cursors/typing status). Focus on the frontend architecture: how do you manage the editor state, ensure low-latency local feedback, and synchronize changes efficiently over the network? Address performance considerations for large documents and provide a strategy for offline support and data consistency.
