Honestly I realized I don’t need a web editor to change the documents, I just needed the documents on whatever device I was using. I set up syncthing to sync my Documents folder with a whitelist for specific directories and a $5 vps lets me get access to whatever documents I need. No need for a domain name and web ui when it’s all desktop apps all the way down.

For collaborative editing LibreOffice Writer has a collaboration feature. Otherwise I’ll send a copy via message service of some kind (email, txt, chat, whatever) or download a copy to my Documents folder if someone sends me a google docs link or whatever.



Does LibreOffice now allow collaborating on one document at the same time? I can use local synced files for most things, but when I need to work with my wife on a document together I always have to fall back on Google.
