Building on the great work of Suite Numerique, Autonomic Co-operative are offering an opportunity to be part of a new Docs platform as a service that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion, etc.
We are currently in the process of carrying out research and development on how best to host and maintain this service for clients.
What is LaSuite docs?
Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🇫🇷🥖(DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.
Docs offers an intuitive writing experience. Its minimalist interface favours content over layout, while offering the essentials: media import, offline mode and keyboard shortcuts for greater efficiency.
Docs makes real-time collaboration simple. Invite collaborators with one click, while maintaining precise access control for data security.
To facilitate the circulation of documents, Docs allows you to export your content to the most common formats: PDF, Word or OpenDocument.
The project is currently in beta and key features such as document import and sub-folder document organising will be released soon.
Docs hosting R&D
We have created a Co-op Cloud recipe (what is a recipe?) to enable more efficient hosting for smaller organisations which we are continuing to test and stabilise.
We plan to offer managed hosting for organisations and individuals.
If you are are interested in supporting the development of this service and get access to your own testing instance, please contact us.
Docs is built on top of Django Rest Framework,Next.js, Yjs and BlockNote.js.
Docs uses an open source licence (MIT).
Contributions are welcome (see the road-map here).
The main La Suite docs instance is already in production for approx 15,000 users.
