📢 Collaborative document editing over nostr: Proof-of-concept

So today I called JeffG (npub1zuu…c2uc) and we were talking about collaboratively editing documents on nostr; I had this very left-side of the curve idea on how to do this, so after kids' bedtime I implemented it to see what it would feel like.

How it works:

A user can invite other users to edit a document (i.e. a long-form, or any other kind of document)
* The invitees can be added/removed at will by the owner of the document.
* The users send ephemeral events while live editing and can hit "save" to propose a new version of the document.
* Everybody sees what the others are doing in real time
* The document's owner chooses which version to make "official".
* Documents can be forked so any of the invitees (or anybody else if the document is allowed to be public) can fork the document and continue working on their own version.
