Show HN: Real-time Collaboration Made Easy

Dynajot (http://www.dynajot.com) aims to be an extremely low friction way to create real-time collaborative applications. With a single javascript include, the library syncs DOM nodes for multiple users across browsers.

You can view the code on Github here: https://github.com/rabidsnail/dynajot-sync

Very cool.

So you sync the DOM right? Wouldn't it make more sense to sync at the "model" level? I'm assuming most applications are generated from some model as follows:

   model --render()--> DOM

in that case syncing the DOMs would not sync the models of the two applications.

Pretty cool. But why would I use this over Etherpad?
