Thanks for setting this up, @zeeclor.
I finally registered tonight and gave it a go (gradually catching up on my “HLB homework”). I uploaded a few de-identified “complicated” Word documents of mine to the HLB CryptPad and created a few fresh documents to give it a go.
With my brief play using Brave on macOS as the browser, it seemed to handle most of the basics really well, but struggled with some of the more advanced formatting in the complex documents I uploaded. Pages doesn’t get those documents 100% right either so that’s not a criticism of CryptPad at all. I had a similar experience with LibreOffice last time I tried it out (18 or so months ago?) and also with the web versions of Office 365 applications last time I tried those.
It was also very usable from a latency perspective, even though it’s hosted elsewhere and not a local instance or executable. Overall, I’m really impressed. I still need to give it a go on my home network and also see how the spreadsheet side of CryptPad performs. I’m still on the fence as to whether it will save me an Office 365 renewal later in the year, but it’s something I’ll consider, depending on how much I’m going to need to play nice with the other children (collaborate with users of real Microsoft Word) on an ongoing basis.
