EtherCalc VS LibreOffice

Somewhat random, but spreadsheets continued to evolve after VisiCalc (obviously).

Here is one by the inventor of VisiCalc, Dan Bricklin, on github: https://github.com/DanBricklin/socialcalc

Audrey Tang (who happens to currently serve as the Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan)) created the Node.js port of SocialCalc, EtherCalc: https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

Audrey made a fascinating write up of SocialCalc for The Architecture of Open Source Applications https://aosabook.org/en/v1/socialcalc.html

if you need office stuff ON CLOUD then no idea there are several random ones like https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc (demo on top right the website works fine and is multi-user collab) and there are libreoffice ones that work in cloud too, though using them in browser never really made sense to anything I've seen. I've never been to any office or consulted anywhere that multi-user actually helped anyone.

I think there's several possible solutions: * No-code/low-code database platforms (e.g., NocoDB) * Personal finance manager (e.g., Firefly III) * Spreadsheets (e.g., CryptPad for a full office suite or Ethercalc) * Task management systems (e.g., Vikunja)

Office solutions (e.g., spreadsheets): CryptPad and EtherCalc

ethercalc: supports editing by multiple clients simultaneously. Pretty easy to setup.

Try CryptPad or EtherCalc.

Ethercalc, although a bit dated, works ok on docker https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
