y-loopback about yjs

[dmonad]

Providers sync Yjs documents with the network or some database.

Sounds like you want to implement a binding: When the "LLM" makes a change, you want to update the Yjs document (via, for example the text.insert method). No provider is really necessary.

This LLM can live on a separate machine or thread, you can connect it to other clients using a provider.

Thanks for the steer @dmonad, hadn't thought of that!

IIUC the main change with that approach is that instead of applying the changes from the LLM onto the text editor (in my case Tiptap) and relying on its Collaboration extension to turn those into yjs mutations, I'd be taking responsibility for mutating the yjs document myself. I think I need to study both APIs a bit more before I can judge which maps more to how the LLM deltas are represented.
