Like Google Docs, also with permissions for Owner, Editor and Viewer, and can be linked. I know making websites exist but I’m not sure if I could access buying any relevant hardware in my city and idk how to self-host.
CryptPad is a lot like Google Docs.
But if you just want collaborative text editing, then EtherPad has been around since forever. There’s also a hosted instance available at https://framapad.org/ .
Cryptpad is really good for ad hoc collaborative text editing, with a couple bonuses:
- the server cannot see what you and your friends are writing
- you don’t need an account to participate in creating or editing a document
I use Cryptpad as wel. Its been around quite a while and they have been expanding with an lot of new apps like kanban, drawings, code editors and presentations. All Foss and e2e encrypted.
Glad to see others recommending CryptPad https://cryptpad.org/instances/
The end-to-end encryption is so nice
+1 for framasoft
I’m late but thank you for the suggestions
There’s Nextcloud Office (Collabora) or OnlyOffice.
I think Proton has something like that as far as I’m aware. It’s basic, though.
From a search on AlternativeTo, it looks to be the following, still active:
- OnlyOffice
- Proton Docs
- La Suite Docs
- Etherpad
- Fileverse
- Collabora
- Framapad
- Curvenote
- Airborn
- Univer (Spreadsheets)
- Documize
Hope this helps.
Only office is the goat
There are many solutions, but all that I know of require a server. Check out Cryptpad or Nextcloud. You can find instances hosted by others who will give you a free account.
I see, thx
screen(1) -x :-)
Never tried this - wouldn’t all users control a single cursor in this case?
Yes.
