I think this is one of the few things as late that makes me feel genuinely proud to be British, because, beneath the hostility that feels so rife across our country recently, we’ve so many good people making things like this happen. Bravo.

This is a really fascinating idea… Just another one for the list of side-projects I’d like to get around to but never will!

The same day that OnlyOffice ended its 8-year partnership with Nextcloud, no less.
