SON patches can be used over JSON document for persistent storage that opens up the doors for realtime multi-user apps. They are serializable, small-sized, transferable between realms (threads and network); helps in multi-user implementation, easy to version with history (undo/redo), offline first (optimistic updates). Let's use JSON patches with React / React Native to build a framework for real-time multi-user apps.
