I’m not complaining, but why create something from the ground up when they could be improving OnlyOffice or LibreOffice?
It’s a different thing. It’s online like Google docs.
So like OnlyOffice and LibreOffice Online?
Edit: to clarify: both of these products can be self hosted. OnlyOffice’s main business model is to sell hosting services, their software is AGPL v3.
Between OnlyOffice or LibreOffice which do you recommend?
OnlyOffice is certainly more mature as a hosted app. It was born like this, the desktop version was the port. LibreOffice Online is still beta, I think.
So if your interest is in hosting and online editing, OnlyOffice. Also has an interface that’s very similar to MS Office 365, which can be a pro or con to some. LibreOffice has a more traditional toolbar paradigm.
You can try both before string up a server to see what you prefer. They’re both copyleft so no chance of a rug pull.
asked this somewhere else, but does anyone know how it compares to Cryptpad which is also developed in France, open source, self hostable, collaborative, and end-to-end encrypted?
Im curious as well!
Open Source is cool and all, but nothing beats this illustration!
