@CollaboraOffice Is an integration of #LanguageTool (Desktop) planned?

@CollaboraOffice lovely UI there, for anyone interested in #LibreOffice lineage FLOSS office document suites!

Very happy with the results, and glad me and my team from the @allotropia side could help getting this shipped (next to heroes like @tml and kendy of course).

@CollaboraOffice With the desktop version, the server-side rendering of the app is circumvented, resulting is a much more responsive user experience, right?
@olivenolje @CollaboraOffice The desktop app talks to a small server that automatically starts locally. The rendering is done on that local server.
@CollaboraOffice It looks interesting and I would like to give it a try, but like the Classic version, the Apple AppStore geo-blocks it ("This app is currently not available in your country or region." ; my account is set in France). Is there a reason for that ?
@CollaboraOffice How can I install it?
I read it would be available as a flatpak for linux.
But I can't find it on flathub or the fedora repo.
On your website it tries to download a file.

@CaptainMalu I would like to ask for it being published on @flathub as well.

Having only the *.flatpak file as a direct download:
- requires advanced knowledge/CLI usage for the installation
- doesn't provide automatic updates and gets users stuck on this release

@CollaboraOffice

@eliasp @flathub @CollaboraOffice I wasn't sure about the last point, as I never installed a flatpak through a file.
I don't know why developer start this behavior now.
Orcaslicer doesn't publish on flathub, too.

I thought developer publish on flathub or provide an appimage (which has the same problems as providing a flatpak as a single file).

Hey @CollaboraOffice, looks great - I'd love to give it a try. As someone else mentioned one has to download the macOS version through the Apple store. I'd prefer to avoid this - is there a way to download a .dmg file?

@CollaboraOffice
Really nice job guys! I really was waiting for this for years! πŸ₯³

Where is it possible to drop feature requests?

Double page view and zotero-plugin support would be really nice for academic work!

Thx a lot and go on! πŸš€

@CollaboraOffice Cool! do you also have a way of installing without flatpack?
