## What Jamie wrote

This looks really interesting. Synchronization is a huge pain to write, and rewrite, all the time. 

> The Braid Protocol is a set of extensions to HTTP, which transform it from a state _transfer_ protocol into a state _synchronization_ protocol. When a resource is changed by one client or server, all other clients and servers update. Braid supports [Operational Transform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation) and [CRDTs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type) at web URLs, enabling peer-to-peer, offline-capable web applications.

It would be pretty amazing if Braid became as well-supported as REST.
