[Backend Rewrite] Investigate possibilities for rewriting collaborative editing

[RobbinBaauw]

This issue cannot yet be subdivided as we need to figure out how to move on. A few possibilities

• Switch to the TipTap editor (https://github.com/scrumpy/tiptap), see New editor #190. This uses ProseMirror, which provides collaborative editing (https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/#collab). I think this is the best option provided we figure out how to write the backend in Rust.
• Create an editor from scratch using Rust & WASM, we could use https://github.com/tcr/edit-text as a baseline. Note that this would require quite some client work.
• Look at Rust implementations of CRDTs and figure out how we can use those with a frontend editor
• Completely discard the Rust rewrite and rewrite the backend for this in another language, for example Go or TypeScript

Let's discuss in the comments :)

Completely discard the Rust rewrite and rewrite the backend for this in another language, for example Go or TypeScript.

The backend language shouldn't matter that much besides some library availability I would imagine.

Yes, if there are amazing libraries on other platforms we should consider those as well imo
