    I’m not complaining, but why create something from the ground up when they could be improving OnlyOffice or LibreOffice?

        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.

        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?

    This is how all government digital services should be done. Built out in the open for everyone to use, collaborate, and benefit from.

    No more enriching tech oligarchs only to have them inevitably enshitify, use our data to invade our privacy and run propaganda campaigns, at a higher cost to everyone than governments simply building or contributing to common projects directly.
