Web-based Document Editor? (lemm.ee)

Hi all,

What fast but functional document editor do you recommend? I would like to add custom fonts and do some page layout work, but otherwise nothing too fancy.

Suggestions?

So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?

I believe so.

Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.

They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.

But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.

@fikran@lemm.ee, maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.

Oh that looks horrible, never mind!

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.

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.

Here's a guide to configure it with Nextcloud.
