France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)
-
That is what I'm saying this editor is trying to be Notion, not Google Docs.
Yes, but who said otherwise then?
Oh OP made it up. Nvm.
They write themselves that it is a notion alternative. -
Cryptpad is French, but they are using OnlyOffice, which is Russian.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
-
Yeah, it is called Word. Works on all computers, is free to use the web based version, and is the world standard.
Maybe I missed something, but since when Word is not only an alternative to an office suite, but also a web-based one?

We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service
See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

Word won't install on machine.
LibreOffice does, though.

Yeah agreed - anything not FOSS is just setting up another bad situation waiting to happen

It says in one of the first paragraphs, that its open-source

I agree but having two major countries using this might be a good move for more efforts from nations. I know Canada still uses all M$FT platforms and recently moved to EXO.
Purpose built projects like this would be easy for public servants to adopt and adapt their workflow.

I don't like the approach of piling more things on top of even more things to achieve the same goal as the base, frankly speaking. A "local" kubernetes cluster serve no purpose other than incredible complexity for little to no gain over a mere docker-compose. And a small cluster would work equally well with docker swarm.
A service, even made of multiple parts, should always be described that way. It's easy to move "up" the stack of complexity, if you so desire. Having "have a k8s cluster with helm" working as the base requirement sounds insane to me.
Yea I’m not a fan of helm either. In fact, I avoid charts when possible. But kustomize is great.
I feel the same way about docker compose. If it wasn’t already obvious, I’m biased in favor of k8s. I like and prefer that interface. But that’s just preference. If you like docker compose, great!
There’s one point where I do disagree however. There are scenarios where a local k8s cluster has a good and clear purpose. If your production environment runs on k8s, then it’s best to mirror that locally as much as possible. In fact, there are many apps that even require a k8s api to run. Plus, being able to destroy and rebuild your entire k8s cluster in 30s is wonderful for local testing.

I wish we did with more open source and local software.
My school in Canada has some agreement with Microsoft so we have to use everything from them.
The school mail used for all accounts is hosted by outlook
The databases are all azure
The 2fa app on our phone to boot the school computer has to be Microsoft (even gave me shit because I am root...)
Teams
We had a whole course for a year on how to use word.It's a public school.
Obviously with this most students will move to the USA for higher pay, we are literally subsidizing the USA education. -

I emailed their board and the province's privacy commissionaire asking why. I grew up with an agenda, and that shit worked better than using a website and email for JK/SK aged kids.

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

What do folks think of cryptpad?

Thinking ofmore like planning on switching from proton after CEO bullshitI'll look into that one too, I didn't know about it
Which bullshit are you talking about? I might have missed it and my search didn't bring much on it

I have been using collaboration with Microsoft products for decades with little issue. I first started in college in 2006 with Onenote and it worked well even then. googol is garbage.

You've had 60+ people all in a single Excel spreadsheet on Sharepoint all making changes at the exact same moment and never once had a issue of a document lock or file corruption? Its okay to have a preference for one product over the other, but when you're blinded by brand loyalty where you can see no wrong with your preferred product, it makes you lose credibility.
-
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.

Thinking ofmore like planning on switching from proton after CEO bullshitI personally really like Cryptpad. I haven't heard of Fileverse, so I'll check it out. Cryptpad is the closest thing I've found to a drop-in Google Suite replacement.

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

no office software requires admin eighter unless you want to install it for all users
