distributed desktop application

To implement user collaboration and real-time editing features in a distributed desktop application, you can use technologies such as websockets and operational transformation. Websockets enable real-time communication between clients and the server, allowing for instant updates. Operational transformation is a technique used to handle simultaneous edits and resolve conflicts in a collaborative environment. By combining these technologies, you can enable users to collaborate and edit documents in real-time, regardless of their location or the device they are using.
