AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItSolve My Problem

Git-backed markdown storage beats vendor lock-in for AI context.

Strengths
  • Yjs-powered CRDTs enable true multiplayer editing without conflict resolution headaches.
  • Agent tool calls stream directly into the timeline, making AI actions auditable by humans.
  • Local-first architecture with Docker compose means you own the data, not the SaaS.
Weaknesses
  • Requires managing three separate .env files and a Yjs server just to get started.
  • Canvas paradigm is crowded; needs more than 'shared context' to beat Miro or Notion.
