Might also add Collabora, it's libreoffice, but allows online collaboration and has the nicest integration into nextcloud, imo.

[–] lopar49@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It is paid and/or open source

[–] 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It is free and open source. https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online

Download via F-Droid needs additional repository: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/downloads/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=573258C84E149B5F4D9299E7434B2B69A8410372921D4AE586BA91EC767892CC

"NOTE: main server is offline, you’ll see the message that you’ll add a mirror, that’s expected. To make it skip the main server, open repo details and toggle off first collaboraonline.com entry." (https://forum.f-droid.org/t/known-repositories/721)

hiya, when i try and download it from windows, it is paid. When I try and use it online I have to request a demo. What am I doing wrong

[–] 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's weird. At least for Linux and Android it was free, last time I checked.

[–] lopar49@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh maybe it’s different? But when I go to windows I takes me to the Microsoft store and it’s 13£

[–] lopar49@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

I’ll have to check this out
