Ironically this website will not allow access unless you agree to data harvesting or pay up.

I can't help but notice that this, in effect, establishes collaboration between EU and Russian devs over a common open-source office suite, because both projects can easily copy future changes from each other. The irony is staggering, given the war and the public rhetoric.

It can't possibly be a worse user experience than Microsoft CoPilot Teams Office 365 Copilot with AI Co-Pilot so I say bring on the eurocrats.

https://github.com/Euro-Office I’m not familiar with the project, but can anyone clarify what it means that it’s not intended to be used standalone and instead built into other projects? What’s the intention / expectation?

Immediate quality of life improvement: Euro-Office disabled Only-Office's paid license gate on mobile web browser editing. I can finally send collaboration links to family and friends without them needing to download the only-office phone app to edit the document.

Why are we still focusing on docx so much? Is anybody printing these at all? If not, I have to assume people are putting information in a big free text field, arranging the text like they sit at a type writer, and then other people have to extract the information from the same free text field. There has got to be a better solution for whatever people are trying to achieve with documents.

Who is funding development of it?
