France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)

As a ashamed American, really glad Trump is a complete fuck-up. I feel like this is spurring innovation in Europe and it will give us Americans a chance to get away from shitty corrupt corporations and have an alternative too. Fuck google.

Cool! It doesn't seem to be opened to anyone for now?
Here's the repo: https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs

This work is released under the MIT License (see LICENSE).

While Docs is a public driven initiative our licence choice is an invitation for private sector actors to use, sell and contribute to the project.

I hope that really takes off.

Fantastic. Does anyone know a collaborative Calc/Excel alternative?

[portopeople@lemm.ee]

I'll be following this. Once the public can use it, I'll definitely replace google docs with it.

Seems like you need some kind of French business ID to sign up at the moment.

Notion is muuuuuch more than just a bunch of notes looking like a wiki

This suite uses Grist, which you can selfhost:

(it also is quite good and comes with some great features that excel is missing)

open to state workers only it seems.

There’s also write.ellipsus.com as a free google docs alternative (from Germany) and it’s currently in beta but open to the public
I use it already and I like it a lot. They are also against generative AI which is very important to protect creative writing.
