It's just for the French civil service, right?

Is there a German-hosted instance? The URL https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/login/ is making me wanna barf and no way I'm clicking it to risk seeing more Fr*nch.

So FramaSoft is not a thing ?? It's French

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

Bro has been sleeping under a rock for the past 10 years.

For offline editing there's already LibreOffice

[–] Retropunk64@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

LibreOffice does everything I need it to and there's no need for anything else.

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.

They also work on android and IOS. You are also not dependent on the different toolkits. Also it is so much more performant.

I can imagine it'll be a 160 MB app that loads the website in a webview, like it usually is

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 10 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

A bit of both I guess

Web apps have the advantage of not requiring admin permission and being accessible from pretty much everywhere, and they are often less intensive I believe

And I guess cloud storage of documents makes it even better

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I guess I don't mind if I can self host the server. If I can't I have no interest in touching it.

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.

In the README there's also instructions for Docker Compose, although it's quite the compose file, with SIXTEEN containers defined. Not something I'd want to self-host.

It looks closer to the markdown style of formatting though, and I doubt it has page formatting, or other more advanced formatting, or extensions, or a large selection of fonts. Honestly, even though docs has pageless formatting now, most people don't use it when they should, making everything unnecessary harder to read, so this will be better in that regard at least. This is probably good enough for 95% of what people use Docs for, but I wouldn't call it a replacement.

I haven't used it because I don't have a French government account, so correct me if I'm wrong about any of that.

Edit: it looks like it only has 1 font and no page formatting

Surprised they didn't go with cryptpad - aren't they already French?

Fuck :( Didn't know that... I got convinced by the company being supposedly Latvian.

What was wrong with libre?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 73 points 1 day 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.

[–] ulair@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

If I can copy and paste with thought having to install the offline plugin, then I'm in.
