People mention Google Docs a lot in this thread.
There seem to be a server version of LibreOffice, called confusingly LibreOffice Online and Collabora Office (?) somewhat interchangeably; Collabora is the #1 contributor to LibreOffice.
I cannot find a free online demo of that though, so I don't know how good it actually is.
edit: there is also some confusing thing about maximum number of users, and if you want to remove it, you need to rename the server because of trademark? I don't know. Seems confusing

- nr11_bullseye 3y agoIt's decent enough for me to use it instead of Google Docs but it definitely has it's limitations. While Google Docs seems to render things on the client side, Collabora Online renders everything on server side, which makes this uncomfortable to use with slow internet. While the feature set of Collabora Online is decent, there are some missing, for examples you can't insert/edit mathematical equations and there are no macros. Templates are supported but you have to create them externally and then upload them. I think it's good enough to write a few pages of text but it's not good enough for power users who write 100-page essays or use complex formatting.
