Is there anything with a similar UI/UX to Google Docs? (lemmy.ca)

I just had to edit a Google Doc for a university thing, and I found the mobile UI to be rather nice. The desktop UI, too, was very good, and I remember having good experiences with Google Slides before I began my privacy journey.

I am fully capable of using things like LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE, and I currently just use Markdown and CSV for my documents and spreadsheets.

However, if there's a FOSS and privacy respecting piece of software out there with a similar UI/UX to Google Docs/Slides/Sheets, I would would be very happy to hear about it.

Obsidian is proprietary, but I'll look into Open Desk.

Joplin is a decent FOSS alternative to Obsidian

I like Joplin, but it is a note taker not an office suite. So kind of depends on what you want.
