Thank you for sharing. Nice landing page and very cool demo.
I was wondering what your reason is of developing it instead of just use nextcloud for your company or for mail, calendar, drive, docs and sheets?
I mean at least with nextcloud you'd be up and running and have a battle tested solution.
I totally get the do it yourself approach and it's reason enough. And combining all the apps in one web interface is really solved well. Kudos. But I just wonder what your technical and maybe other reasons were.
Yea I really did want to go Nextcloud because it is the battle tested solution as you note, but a few things held me back.
* It's UI felt dated - which I agree is not an entirely good reason to not use it, but certain stakeholders in the org that will be using it felt it wouldn't be acceptable.
* Collabera Office, which underpins their doc solution is kinda weird how it runs, everything renders on the server and then is displayed on the clients. Not mobile friendly at all.
I did really like the ecosystem though and did consider just writing the plugins I needed for it. But then that went down a rabbit hole in itself with Php which I don't have fond memories of.
Ultimately it was a case of "be the change you want to see in the world". This is my opinionated answer to what an online suite of apps should work like for better or worse. I'm in a good spot where I have a small group of users who I'm close to that can stress test it out and yell at me when stuff breaks.
