[–] hoppolito@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is there an open source implementation of kDrive as well?

What was wrong with libre?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Libre only does local document collaboration, having it online is helpful for teams far from each other or who simply don't have the infrastructure for their own central server of this kind.

Well this has been running in our Nextcloud and works pretty well collaboratively :) https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online not sure how it scales, but definitely an alternative that can be built on

The web browser is the future, especially for a crappy document editor and spread sheet.

Pretty good project, but is it the future to have mainly web apps?

[–] BlushedPotatoPlayers@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

For offline editing there's already LibreOffice

Yes, that's excellent. We need our own Google suite. Fingers crossed so that it may come eventually.
