What does this do over what the collabora tools in Nextcloud do?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

NGL I keep forgetting NextCloud has collaboration tools.

Just checked the part about self-hosting. While it's probably possible to handle things with a less heavy approach, their only "easy to use" example right now is to have a full-blown kubernetes cluster at hand or run locally in the source directory. That's a bit much.

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

[–] SaraTonin@lemm.ee 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It’s definitely been the direction of travel for the last several years. Not because the products are better, but because it’s easier to develop for just the browser than for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

For offline editing there's already LibreOffice

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.
