     @Jain Such an unnecessary product, this is the first time I've heard of it.

     @blobfrog something like a mix of hedgedoc (multi user markdown board) except it will for sure not be open and it will have a ton of useless features

     @Jain You think? It looks like horrible shit that doesnt work unless only one or 2 person do it and I actually cant think of a usefull case of it.

     Speaking out of experience with a document server where multiple people can editor the same documents and where we had to set up another document only to write in who is currently editing what document and for how long, so it wont get screwed up because people just cant work together on things like this.

     @fabiscafe oh i agree, working asynchronously with office without the whole MS Stack is the worst kind of all...
     just as a tip: openoffice / libreoffice can save files as a plain text xml which should be much more easier to merge than their proprietary alternatives...
     
     hedgedoc got renamed from codimd but there are a lot of pad alternatives out there... I mean of course they arent built to work together on a document and therefore you probably cant use it for your everyday work...
     
     But all those pads are the best solution for things like protocols, notes, brainstorming or just ideas...

     @Jain We do use more office style things, like docx/xlsx (via nextcloud). The problem just is that people dont work together, but just in the same time on different parts and so the resulting thing always feels disjoined and in need of another person to correct things. So I can say that it doesnt save up on time. :blobcatlaugh:

     hedgedoc is something I know about but I have not used yet. I think it did had a different name at some point and that was what I have used, but not sure.

     @Jain Huh? No we can just fine edit the MS office files on nextcloud. Technically there is no problem. It's the social aspect that doesnt work :)
