Collabora Productivity has announced the release of the first desktop version of its Collabora Office, bringing the full Collabora Online interface to Linux, Windows, and macOS as a native application.
For those who haven’t heard of the app, Collabora Office is an open-source office suite derived from the LibreOffice codebase, offering tools for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and vector graphics.
Until now, its most modern user interface—the one used in Collabora Online (COOL)—was available only in the browser. With this release, that interface is now packaged as a local desktop app running entirely offline.
I don’t get what the point of this is when libreoffice is already a thing…
Why have choices, right?
Huh? LibreOffice isn’t on Android while Collabora is. That’s kind of important, no?
I’m happy they’re on mobile, it’s better than nothing but I don’t particularly like them or their layout on mobile. Because of that I don’t see why I’d want them on the desktop when I’d frankly usually prefer to rdp into a Remote Desktop over use their mobile app.
I’m 99% sure it’s just for looking something like msoffice
