CryptPad VS Etherpad

I see that they claim all of their apps and libraries are open source[0]. But they only link to the OpenPGP libraries they're using. Is this actually open source? Following the "Open Source" footer link[1], here they only link to the ProtonMail Github account with nothing mentioning ProtonDrive.

And if it is actually open source, I'd love to see a comparison to CryptPad[2]

> which is why we’ve made all our apps and encryption libraries open source

In my frustration with MS Office, I gave it a chance and searched for MS Office alternatives ... and found https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad ! Looks quite nice. Maybe I should set that up on a server.

https://cryptpad.org/

There's a public instance in France to try it out.

CryptPad provides a full-fledged office suite with all the tools necessary for productive collaboration.

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

I work for XWiki SAS. Two products we develop have it:

- XWiki, a extensible wiki platform, experimentally [1] but soon to be fully supported

- CryptPad [2], an end-to-end encrypted collaborative platform. And actually, CryptPad was accidentally born as a first attempt to have this feature in XWiki.

Hey, very happy to see you so enthusiastic!

I'll be sure to transmit your feedback to the CryptPad team.

I'm not an expert myself so while I might know some stuff, it'd be better to talk to them directly.

Come say hello on the Matrix #cryptpad-general channel [1], don't hesitate to open issues on the bug tracker, and to browse the CryptPad's website [2].

It's not LibreOffice, but while revisiting CryptPad (which I thought was a multiplayer notepad like etherpad or codimd, except with an encryption key in the url fragment identifier) I was impressed to see that they're expanding to become an entire office suite. You get a WYSIWYG editor (I'd rather wish for markdown but ok), spreadsheet editor, survey forms, and more which I don't remember, all live like google docs but (as I understand it, I didn't audit it) end to end encrypted between the users. It's a bit sluggish because everything has to happen on the client side, so it's a lot of JavaScript, but after the page loads it works smoothly. You can self host it as well, there's a list of instances somewhere on https://cryptpad.org with the official instance being https://cryptpad.fr

LibreOffice has a ton more features and is way harder to port. Case in point: I was at an open source conference where LibreOffice proudly demo'd their new server version, saying it used mapnik. Me, confused, asked huh why'd you use an OpenStreetMap rendering library? Turns out they basically run the ancient C++ UI on the server and make a VNC-like connection and that map tiles is the easiest or fastest way to load the screen. At least, that's what I remember from that presentation, I haven't looked into that madness further, but that's LibreOffice online...

Did you try https://etherpad.org ?

Check out etherpad. It's an awesome solution. It's got collaboration, and over 200 plugins.

You can try to: - wipe all of the data of standard notes app by holding down on it, clicking "app info", going to the storage section and tapping both "clear storage" and "clear cache" buttons - Install an older version of the app. This has fixed my problem with Bitwarden refusing to work on my device. (Until it broke again, but luckily the latest version works fine) - Try a different note taking app. I don't know many of them, but by doing a quick startpage search I've found https://simplenote.com/. It seems to be free and open source as well as providing cloud sync. - Use Etherpad. This works by sharing a permanent link to a file stored on one of the etherpad's servers, and anyone with the link can edit it and view it in real time. Of course, the disadvantage is no encryption, as it is meant for collaboration while writing books and such.

Etherpad Lite is basically selfhosted Google Docs, and it's pretty straightforward but can be extended with various plugins. https://etherpad.org/

Sudo doesn't work in the container, so I'm running bash and doing apt-get update and getting the error. Base image is Etherpad
