Yep, but the machine can also do the work while you’re running, or even commuting.

That’s probably much less efficient than just using the machine that performs the same process though.

I concur with @[email protected]’s testimony :

Collabora Office […] ended up using less server resources when idle than OnlyOffice

I actually don’t know about Collabora, but I do know that OnlyOffice uses a lot of server resources and is quite hard to set up, even when using Docker Compose.

So, currently, I’m using the desktop client with WebDAV instead.

However, you said :

CryptPad […] uses OnlyOffice client side

So, if CryptPad provides an alternative backend for OnlyOffice, then I’ll be curious to know whether it uses less resources than OnlyOffice’s official backend, and whether there are other alternative backends.

As for Collabora, I wouldn’t recommend it, nor NextCloud in general, to be honest.

Funny, I wanted to do the same thing as well, but then I gave up and explained why on the Ghost blog I created afterward : https://blog.kaki87.net/intro/

I specifically asked whether the Markdown editor is WYSIWYG, like Typora, which isn’t the same thing as MS Word WYSIWYG.

Is the Markdown editor WYSIWYG, like Typora ?
