> Firebase for CRDTs

Do you actually need anything special for CRDTs over a normal database? My understanding is the actual CRDT part is done "client side"

I was just referring to the posted article's assertion that "Firebase for CRDTs" is a huge opportunity. I think I agree w the authors that a well-architected CRDT solution for local-first apps requires capabilities not currently provided by Firebase or any other vendor. But I'm no expert.
