+Automerge is a library of data structures for building collaborative applications.
+
+Research work incubated by [[Ink & Switch]]
+
+## Automatic Merging
+
+Automerge is a Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type ([[CRDT]]), which allows concurrent changes on different devices to be merged automatically without requiring any central server.
+
+## Network-agnostic
+
+Use any connection-oriented network protocol: client-server, peer-to-peer, or local. Or use unidirectional messaging: send an Automerge file as an email attachment or store it on a file server.
+
+## Portable
+
+Implemented in [JavaScript](https://github.com/automerge/automerge) and [Rust](https://github.com/automerge/automerge-rs), with FFI bindings across platforms including iOS, Electron, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, and more.

+Capabilities adoption needs a lot more education and promotion.

+## Interest in Capabilities
+
+There are currently three communities that are interested / active in capabilities: [[LoFi|Local First]], Crypto/Blockchain, and Capabilities enthusiasts.
+

+E-rights language leads to strict [[Object-capability model]] that Agoric and Spritely are digging into. [[SPKI]] / SDSI / X.509 are [[Certificate capabilities]], which is [[UCAN]] and friends. [[Authomerge]] is a little bit of both.
