    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.

          True: self hosting is beneficial, Foss office suite is great to empower us, users… etc.

          The point of the software presented isn’t aimed at regular computer users that would enjoy a bit of independence, it looks more like something aimed at the enterprise administrative level that people may stumble upon while searching for a document (who needs versioning apart from filename extensions if you alone work on the documents).See it as: you may find , download and use updated packaged software on github but in reality it’s really a tool aimed at devs before being a software repository for end users.

          I see this as software mainly for the French or German state administration being made public for others to enrich, integrate… Like Olvid is a matrix based E2E encrypted, real authenticated identity based messenger made available to the public once the French government financed it’s development for it’s own use.

        it’s often a pain to install in computers that don’t have it by default, like school computers or similar, but alright, didn’t know it!

        +some people don’t like installing stuff

        +you can’t collaborate with other people on the default LibreOffice I iirc
