How’s this project going to interact with
CollibreCollabora (sorry!)?I’m not getting any meaningful results searching for that project. What is it?
My first gut reaction was “Neat, but no thank you” but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.
They say in their post that they won’t host it.
(IMO) even better.
Give me the package to self-host it.Yeah, I agree with that. Give me a container.
Yes that’s understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I’m all for it.
OMG YES!!!
This makes me really happy because it’ll make collaborating with friends on things a lot easier.
I hope they’re able to move toward a client first renderer instead of the image tile approach they used previously. That was kinda a network hog and cludgy to use.
fuck yeah. I’ll happily deploy this to my stack.
As someone who is slowly moving off big tech, are there plugins or themes for these office suites that bring then more in line with modern UIs for office suites.
I hate Msoft and Google but the gsuite has a nice clean set up. Microsoft less so but still doesnt feel as unwieldly as open office. I was doing a doc last night and ended up getting the chrome flatpak and signing into docs.
Great!
I’d love to see libre office on my personal nextcloud instance. That would be an easy and effective “feature” for nextcloud which could be adopted by many business. They’re already running Nextcloud, maybe, for the digital sovereign.
Anyway, thanks for your efforts!
That’ll be nice to see. I like Collabora but haven’t tried hosting it. Opening that up and LibreOffice up side by side with the tabbed interface, barely any different. Maybe LibreOffice exposes way more buttons in each tab so maybe more intimidating but it looks pretty good compared to what I remember when the tabbed interface was first made available. Looking forward to seeing this progress
Wasn’t collabora trying to be this
I thought tools like OnlyOffice filled in that gap. Nice to see an alternative.
People seem to be doling out some hate for OnlyOffice because of its compatibility with MSOffice formats.
I may be reporting it wrong. I didn’t get it at the time, either.
Back in 2020, those of us who had been using the OnlyOffice community document server were greeted with a notification stating that mobile editing was no longer supported and that we’d have to buy their commercial product.
Some folks quickly figured out a patch. Others, like myself, left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Plus, they are shady about their origins.
I think it has to do with a recent decision by OO to default save all files in MS format vs an open format ? I saw some post about it on Mastodon. I use LO
I thought that was odd too. Including the MS Office formats with everything else OnlyOffice can open is fine, perhaps even fantastic, but it’s weird as hell to make it the default.
How long until someone uses a LibreOffice Online instance to drop a Google doc on someone?
Why? Why anyone needs online version?
Realtime collaborative documents. One thing that comes to mind is notes for my DND party.
Would be nice to keep em somewhere everyone can access and add to, no extra client software install required.
I’ve been looking at hedgedoc for this exact purpose, but then everyone in my party would have to learn markdown, and they’re not all tech savvy.
But markdown is so easy to learn. They can even ignore most of it, probably.
You telling me we wouldn’t also find a good use for collaborative spreadsheets?
“Just gonna add this loot to the party’s inventory real quick.”
isn’t this the whole point of this community? ._.
It’s a pretty basic requirement for small business, nonprofits or pretty much any group of people wanting to easily collaborate on documents
