I really don't see the appeal nowdays, so many options out there, including collabora (which has the community version).

I really wanna see the way they'll do.

Collabora is a mess. It essentially streams an image from a server running the office suite, and is always an unresponsive mess to use, and gets worse with bad connections.

Now thats true🫤 I had to implement on same server running nextcloud to be viable, but then it left me with little resource to put anything else.

I hope they make a version less resource hogging

Cool..... But like, people know apps exist right? And networked storage? Why does everything gotta be a webapp... Feels like only a matter of time until my desktop calculator is running in Electron.

I recently deployed OnlyOffice for my Nextcloud. Sometimes I want to collaborate with other people in real time on a single document, and the web client is perfectly usable for that. I'm hoping LibreOffice Web can grow into a usable alternative.

That's fair. Good usecase
