Ah, Google Documents.. So convenient.. But #Google is bad and the current US government is crazy.

What is the closest existing alternative to GDocs which is not owned by an american for-profit?

So far, Libre Office docs could be a replacement but there doesn't seem to be an integrated way to do co-editing online with it?

Conditions:

  • I am not interested in Latex
  • I want to use it to co-edit documents with other people, having tracked changes and comments is necessary
  • I ideally would like to use it with Zotero but it's not essential

I think #google just made their "make a URL link" function stupider in #googleDocuments etc.

Previously: highlight text --> CTRL+K --> CTRL+V (paste the URL on your clipboard)

Now: Highlight text --> CTRL+K [if what you highlighted looks like a URL already, Docs/Impress just creates that URL, even if that's not your link, and it takes some fucking around to get the actual link to paste]

Ugh.
