Web-based Document Editor?
-
Moving this to a top-level comment.
Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.
Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.

I use Collabora CODE, which is an online version of LibreOffice. I don't know a ton about the technical details, but I'm pretty sure it does server side rendering.
-
i don't know much about custom fonts, but there are two main options for self-hosted "word" replacements:
- Collabora CODE - LibreOffice wrapped up as a web application
- OnlyOffice
I use Collabora with Nextcloud (hence the link).
-
Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.
-
Unfortunately I am not a fan of NextCloud, it's just too slowwwwww

My AIO is very fast on mid hardware
-
I had the same experience, tried other stuff and eventually came back. Maybe I didn't have redis and Maria setup right before but it's much better for me this time around.
Totally not saying that's what was up for you though, it's not for everyone.
-
This is like that other recommendation of a linuxserver/kasmvnc docker image as well. It doesn't allow for collaborative editing like cryptpad or google docs does.
-
it's definitively fast on my installation. Might I suggest looking at the log level and making sure it's not set to INFO or DEBUG? That's what was holding my instance back.

A few releases ago they made massive improvements in Speed. I use NC since the Split from OwnCloud and that performance Upgrade recently was truly impressive.
-
you could have a look at etherpad. seems pretty cool and is extensible with plugins. i don't know about resource consumption and security aspects, tho, because i don't personally use it.
-
i find the latex fonts weird to deal with. for me it is more a thing of setting up your template the way you wanr it and keep sailing with that.
-
you can set up collabora without nextcloud, as well
-
I find them okay, but I am much more concerned with consistent fonts than with a variety of decorative fonts.
The defaults fonts feel very old-fashioned though.
-
Mine is okay, but maybe I just have high standards. I'm using redis and postgresql, so I'm probably about as optimized as I can be. Page loads in like 2-3s, but I wish it was faster.
If there was an alternative to Nextcloud that could replace Google Docs and wasn't written in PHP, I'd switch. I don't need much, I just want to access documents and spreadsheets in the browser.
But Nextcloud is good enough.

Do you have any experience installing only office?
I've tried installing it many times over the past decade with only one successful attempt about a decade ago.
Every few years I try to install it again and fail
I'm trying to install it now but again, nothing. I've tried installing it using the official scripts which wreck the operating system. Dame for using the official debs.
So I tried using the docker version and that just doesn't do anything at all. I try opening the page on the right port and it connects and disconnects immediately.
I've used only office and it's awesome. However, nothing is as hard to install as onlyofffice

Is this shitty AI? This comment makes no sense. If not AI, maybe some key words got mixed up?
-
Do you have any guidance on that? I haven't been able to find anything.

https://hub.docker.com/r/collabora/code/
correction from my side: it is the development edition, which means rolling release and possibly less stability, but it is worth a try imho (but i do not use it personally)
