Wow so French and German government agencies are building a joint #opensource, self-hostable #GoogleDocs replacement.

I would ofc prefer this being built by someone independent and *funded* by the public, but hell this does feel cool nevertheless:

https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/login/

Who has worked with @numerique_gouv #Docs or @cryptpad Documents?
For easy, low-threshold inter-institutional co-authorship (parameters are usability for authors used to #GoogleDocs as much as #datasecurity):

My always up-to-date table of now 942 verified media accounts in the #Fediverse (which is not on #GoogleDocs anymore) is beginning to be helpful:
https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html

I added a custom search builder (above the table at the left) that gives powerful options to filter the whole database.
There are now also the first bridged media accounts from #Bluesky und accounts from other software in the #Fediverse (like from @index): Search by Software.

Next is styling the page a bit

I'm doing a test to replace Google Docs with Proton Docs.

There are fewer features, but it's less cumbersome, and you can collaborate using a simple link without creating an account

: Nowa alternatywa open source dla Google Docs i Notion wspierana przez Francję i Niemcy.

Docs to internetowy edytor tekstu oparty na współpracy, który jest wynikiem wspólnego wysiłku prowadzonego przez rządy Francji (DINUM) i Niemiec (ZenDiS).

Jest to dobra alternatywa dla popularnych usług, takich jak Notion, Google Docs i Outline.

Platforma oferuje możliwości współpracy w czasie rzeczywistym, elegancki minimalistyczny interfejs i wszystkie niezbędne funkcje, których możesz potrzebować.

Co najlepsze, Docs jest open-source na GitHub i może być hostowany samodzielnie, co czyni go realną opcją dla lokalnych agencji i firm.

Możesz przetestować Docs w swojej przeglądarce, odwiedzając tę stronę:

On a better note, Goodle Docs seems to work beter in Chrome on Mac. Don't do Safari, it doesn't read the whole line at first when you make a bulleted list.

New malware alert! #ACRStealer is using Google Docs and Steam to steal credentials, crypto wallets & more. Spread via software cracks!

(please RT) I've been thinking recently about products/services that I use the larger tech firms for - and quite how much data is concentrated within any one organisation.

One such thing is Google Docs/Sheets. While I have LibreOffice, the beauty of #GoogleDocs is that it's online, so if my computer goes Haywire, it's safe. Especially important for my fiction writing.

Does anyone have recommendations for an "online office suite" that also lets you cloud-save in the same way?

Thanks!

Has anyone else been having major issues with #Google suite on #Firefox lately? My colleagues and I (on different operating systems) have been having some major lag and issues, and I haven’t been able to tell if it’s a browser thing or a #GoogleDocs thing.
