Why? Why anyone needs online version?
Realtime collaborative documents. One thing that comes to mind is notes for my DND party.
Would be nice to keep em somewhere everyone can access and add to, no extra client software install required.
I've been looking at hedgedoc for this exact purpose, but then everyone in my party would have to learn markdown, and they're not all tech savvy.
But markdown is so easy to learn. They can even ignore most of it, probably.
You telling me we wouldn't also find a good use for collaborative spreadsheets?
"Just gonna add this loot to the party's inventory real quick."
Only for those who want to.
Although someone playing DnD would probably not mind putting in the few minutes required.
I mean... When friends or people at my work place plan a party and want to organize who brings what, they share an MSOffice or Google Calc link around, which allows you to enter stuff and see in real time what the others enter.
That would be nice to do with LibreOffice instead.
isn't this the whole point of this community? ._.
It's a pretty basic requirement for small business, nonprofits or pretty much any group of people wanting to easily collaborate on documents
