Can you self host libreoffice for a google docs alternative?

Yes. Collabora is the maintainer for the online version (as well as the Android). Easiest way to host is via nextcloud.

No, Libre Office is offline only.

You need to look at something like Only Office, a free/open source web based office suite, which supports collaboration.

I stand corrected, there is a web-version of libre office, although they don't support it directly, they do provide builds etc.

Yeah also the site doesn't seem to bring up the the keyboard on mobile. Which kills this as am alternative to google services.... For now

I see how to do it from the viewer, but not a great experience.

Hey, all the bug fixes in the world is great, but honestly? Just give me a proper dark mode. That's genuinely all I want at the moment. MS Office has had proper dark mode for years.

And yes I say proper dark mode because although it has dark mode it is absolute shit. The "paper" is still blazing white; meanwhile, in MS Office it is a pleasant grey so you can still differentiate it from the background while maintaining the dark mode as a dark mode.


Edit: Evidently, I was wrong. It does support it. Clearly I either was doing it wrong and/or was misunderstanding it. Sorry for the falsehood!

EDIT: So, apparently it does have a proper dark mode that I didn't know about. My apologies. Oooof, we can only dream. That sunny white paper blinding you in the dark mode is a major turn off. I still use it, though. I appreciate the rest of the suit for sure.

Seeing so much misinformation upvoted on lemmy the last couple weeks. It's a shame, there was a brief moment of time when I could trust comments here, but unfortunately that time passed by rather quickly.

Edit: Removed AMP link for the direct link as pointed out to me in a reply below.

I wouldn't be so negative. The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that's pretty good

Yeah, but that was also me providing that screenshot... it originally had 20 upvotes and no downvotes and was the top comment by far. No one questioned it before I posted the screenshot and the comment you replied on. I don't even use Libre Office but immediately thought, "that can not be correct," then I installed it to take that screenshot, so I think I can be a little frustrated and annoyed over this kind of misinformation. Because if I had just taken that comment and all the upvotes as the truth, then I would be dissuaded to use it in the future, and that would be based on completely wrong information. And that's bullshit.
