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.
Yes that’s understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I’m all for it.
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.
fuck yeah. I’ll happily deploy this to my stack.
How long until someone uses a LibreOffice Online instance to drop a Google doc on someone?
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.
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
I thought tools like OnlyOffice filled in that gap. Nice to see an alternative.
