NotepadNext VS ONLYOFFICE

Shame, since N++'s plugin ecosystem holds quite the treasure trove of functionality.

there is another OpenSource - Cross-Platform (Windows, Linux, etc) - Notepad/Notepad++ Alternative:

https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext

There's NotepadNext (https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext), it's fairly new and based on Notepad++, personally, at the moment I use Atom.

Or alternatively there is a cross-platform project here that attempts to remake Notepad++ but as cross platform (Notepad Next).

> And finally, it's always great to see Lazarus software, it's one of the nicer ways to create GUI software and largely sidesteps some of the framework related issues that other languages face...

The insanity involved around hating on Object Pascal is just a damn shame. Lazarus is fantastic, for the desktop. And so are a lot of software projects created with Lazarus. The few gripes that I have with the project, is the very odd refusal to fully embrace mobile development.

They have a kind of half-way solution, for just Android and not iOS, from an independent developer not on the Lazarus team and who they seem to want to keep at an arm's length. I don't know if Embarcadero (Delphi) is paying them to not touch mobile development, but it's quite weird that they don't want to go in that very obvious direction. Lazarus as a complete solution for both the desktop and mobile, would have people shook. However, the clock is ticking, because there are a number of more comprehensive desktop and mobile development solutions coming. Lazarus should have and arguably could have come out with their combined solution years ago.

Check out Notepad Next for Linux. Everyone is talking about Notepadqq but in my experience it seems to be outdated and not feature complete. I enjoy Notepad Next much more.

Had never even heard of it.

And their website doesn't help at all - https://www.onlyoffice.com/ - At first, I thought it is selling some kind of add-on for Businesses to use with Microsoft Office. Then I clicked "Get it now" and saw a page that gives me options to download a Docker Image, or Cloud Images or VM Images. What the heck? Then I see the "GET OnlyOffice" link in the navigation menu and go to it - the menu pop-up talks about DocSpace, Enterprise, Workspace etc. etc. and asks to sign-in for cloud. Again, what the heck?? Then I go to the PRODUCT link that also pop-ups lot of options - like - Doc editors to integrate into your business platform .... ??? Then I see the "Desktop and Mobile Apps" option in it and click 'For Desktop'. And finally, here I found what I had been searching for - Get free desktop office suite for document editing and collaboration ( https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx ).

When a website is designed to be "Enterprisey" - only targetting and catering to a particular audience, and totally ignores everyone else - I am not surprised it's userbase is limited.

> @ONLYOFFICE, FYI to add bidi-directional support (LTR, RTL and mixed) in Web interface is as simple to add to element dir=auto.

> If I remember correctly, they are using canvas with custom rendering logic. Hence many native browser capabilities might not be available.

Oh, jeez, why? I want to install this just to point a screen reader at it and watch the havoc. Maybe they got that figured out but good lord...

Seems to have no updates since 3 years.

OnlyOffice (IMO) looks the closest like MS Office , is open source (AGPL) and handles the MS Office formats very well.

Damn close replacement - onlyoffice. https://www.onlyoffice.com/. Been using it as my excel replacement at work for over a year now. Highly recommend it.

Only Office has a web based version so every device with a browser could run it and is like MS Office

Try OnlyOffice— it’s the one that does the best job at handling MS formats in my experience.

https://www.onlyoffice.com/ and just link your outlook exchange to like thunderbird or something

او شوف برنامج مرة استعملته https://www.onlyoffice.com/

No you can't run office365 without Windows or MacOS on Linux. The closest 2 alternatives that I find pleasing to use is (onlyoffice)[https://www.onlyoffice.com] or libreoffice

Yes. OP should try ONLYOFFICE
