I think LibreOffice should just be a PWA. I could easily be missing something, since I'm not an office suite power user, but AFAICT, everyone would be better off using an OSS version of Google Docs. Web apps are the most accessible option, they fit the collaborative use case well, etc.

LO already has enough issues wth enabling the Java stuff in the menus, the last thing we need is for it to become a laravel react svelte kitten gemini poob framework-of-the-week POS.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. I didn't mean to suggest that Libreoffice per se should pivot to a web app (unless they want to rewrite a lot of stuff or figure out how to generate WASM). But I think I would rather use an office suite in general if it were a web app.

And it doesn't need to use a JS framework, it could be written in any language that targets WASM.

That makes sense.

You had given me nightmares for a moment. :p
