GNOME has the platform. The office suite is missing.

It's Time to Bring Back GNOME Office (Hope You Remember It)
Those who used GNOME 2 in the 2000's would remember the now forgotten GNOME Office. I think it's time to revive that project.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)

in reply to It's FOSS • • •I disagree. I have used GNOME with Libreoffice and Onlyoffice and I prefer the latter. If they would add their own office suite and I don't care about it, it would just clutter my system.
If the only argument is "it doesn't look as neat like a GNOME integrated app", then the author should maybe look into MacOS instead. Walled garden all the way, but at least everything looks the same 😜
On the other hand: competition and choice are a good thing.

However the question is money. As long as there's no financial backing nothing can happen. Let's hope the crazy geopolitics at the moment wakes people up from our over reliance on some companies who seem to support an administration, who antagonizes friends and destroys all trust we have.

in reply to It's FOSS • • •I wish someone could create a fast, simple, and easy-to-use #Gnome office based on #LibreOffice Kit.
This doesn't seem to be complicated wiht #libreofficekit and has full access to all LibreOffice technology features.

in reply to It's FOSS • • •Indeed, a simple #Gnome office suite on basis of #LibreOfficeKit is probably the lowest hanging fruit to create an office suite. LibreOfficeKit is very powerful and is continuously further developed as it's the main engine of @collabora Online.
It has full document fidelity, so even if Gnome office would have few features, it would still be able to open/import/save/export/display all features. It's a pity that no one has tackled it yet.
