Jan 26, 2018 at 20:57 comment added algebrachallenged @DenisNardin Thanks for your comment. That does sound like an interesting perspective. I'll have to study your link to understand in what sense Cech cochains give rise to homotopy limits.
Jan 26, 2018 at 20:28 comment added Denis Nardin Also, if you need a reference to understand what the heck homotopy limits have to do with Čech cochains, let me just drop this here...
Jan 26, 2018 at 19:49 comment added Denis Nardin It does define an E_∞-algebras (because it's a homotopy limit of cdgas, in particular of E_∞-algebras). I don't know of a "gentle" introduction, but the fact that the forgetful functor from E_∞-algebras detects limits is, for example, Higher Algebra, Corollary 3.2.2.5 (in the case where O is the commutative operad). There must be more elementary presentations somewhere.
