Future Considerations

Native Editor Integration

Status: Research Phase

Evaluation of native code editors (Zed, Lapce, Helix) as alternatives to code-server.

Options:

1. Fork Lapce for VibeCode-native performance
2. Eclipse Theia integration (replace code-server)
3. Multi-protocol extension standard (cross-editor compatibility)

Decision Matrix: Performance vs compatibility vs development effort

---

CRDT Collaboration Enhancement

Status: Planning

Enhancement of existing Yjs collaborative editing implementation.

Current State:

• Yjs CRDT library integrated
• CollaborativeEditor component exists
• Infrastructure stubbed but functional

Proposed Enhancements:

• Polish existing Yjs implementation
• Add user awareness indicators
• Improve conflict resolution UI
• Implement presence system

Priority: HIGH (foundation already exists)

---

Database Consolidation

Status: Analysis Complete

Consolidation of fragmented database adapter layer.

Problem:

• 39 database layer files
• Multiple adapters (Postgres, CosmosDB, MongoDB, Redis)
• Inconsistent patterns
• Technical debt

Proposed Solution:

• 5-phase consolidation plan (22 days)
• Unified adapter interface
• Consistent error handling
• Performance optimization

Impact: Improved maintainability, reduced bugs
