My parents started a shared text document detailing the key family events that have happened since they married >3 decades ago. It is now nearly 5000 words long. Part of me thinks this is a great idea and I want to make my own for my own life/family, but the other part of me wonders… is there a better way to do this?
@levisan make a git repo and share it with family using Syncthing
@heycitizen Bahaha I love it.
Cons: only I would be contributing
Pros: everyone who'd contribute via the other method would still be contributing
@levisan @heycitizen NextCloud + LibreOffice work great for me. Any registered or unregistered user can participate if I invite them. It looks like Google Crap.
If you don't want to own your own NextCloud I'm pretty sure you can pay a few dollars per month for someone to host it for you.
@levisan @heycitizen Pictured: a spreadsheet hosted in NextCloud on my home server running in LibreOffice on my home server. (Browser acts as quasi-dumb terminal.)
Supports multiple simultaneous users.
Notice it respects my browser's "I prefer dark theme" choice!
@levisan (The splashy home page doesn't say it, but Collabora Office Online is mostly LibreOffice.)
