How can I implement real-time collaborative editing for code snippets in a React Native app?
14:44 29 Mar 2026

I'm building a mobile app where users can share code snippets and debug them collaboratively in real time.
I want multiple users to edit the same snippet simultaneously.

I'm using :

-React native and Firebase database.

I tried:

Listening to changes using onValue , but updates overwrite each other when multiple users type at the same time.

Problem:
I need a way to handle concurrent edits without conflicts.

Question:
What is the correct approach to implement real-time collaborative editing (e.g., OT or CRDT) in this setup? Are there any examples of integrating this with Firebase?
