## What it is
Teamtype is a peer-to-peer, editor-agnostic tool for real-time collaborative editing of local text files and directories, built in Rust on CRDTs (Automerge). It runs as a daemon alongside your existing editor (e.g., Neovim) via plugins, with encrypted connections and no central server.

## Use cases
- collaboratively edit local text files in real time
- pair programming with different editors
- real-time note-taking with teammates
- share cursors and selections while editing
- collaborate offline-first without a server
- write a plugin for my own editor

## When to choose
- you want Google-Docs-style collaboration on local files using your own editor
- you need serverless, encrypted peer-to-peer sync
- you want a local-first alternative that keeps files on disk and works offline
- you pair program across different editors

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted service with accounts and access control
- you need robust, bug-free production stability (known bugs remain)
- you need non-text-file collaboration
- you're on Windows without WSL
