Collabora Online
Issue tracker only. Active development is on Gerrit at https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/.
Project mention: LibreOffice – Let's put an end to the speculation | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-05> Did the ejected developers work on those, or did they only work on things built on top of then or other other non-core things?
Yes. According to Collabora's stats (on their perspectives), they contribute more than half of the documented features from the release notes for LibreOffice 26.2 [1].
Collabora's own version of LibreOffice lies in another repo [2], which presumably contains code specific to their own online office suite built from LibreOffice. They seem to moving away for a (maybe soft) fork of LibreOffice, while setting up their own Gerrit instance [3].

gryt
The Gryt monorepo. Self-hosted voice and text chat over WebRTC: desktop and web client, signalling server, Go SFU, auth, and the ops to deploy them. Every component is a submodule with its own repo.
Project mention: Show HN: Gryt – self-hosted, open-source Discord-style voice chat | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-25This weekend I finally shipped Gryt, a project I’ve been building since 2022 — an open-source, self-hostable Discord-style app focused on reliable voice chat + text.
I’m the creator. I started it after getting fed up with Discord disconnects/paywalls and wanted something self-hosted and auditable.
I started on this in 2022 and had an early proof-of-concept working back then (auth + friends list), but I quickly realized WebRTC voice isn’t something you can duct-tape together. I spent a big chunk of the next couple years learning the stack (ICE/DTLS-SRTP, NAT traversal, SFU design), then came back and built a proper end-to-end architecture and polished it to the point where I felt comfortable releasing it publicly.
Repo: https://github.com/Gryt-chat/gryt
