Good is really good at engineering great software and really sucks at making them enterprise ready. It's why they've been failing with GCP, Google Tables (shutdown now I guess), Analytics or any product that aims for enterprise co

Excellent work! To put out the importance of the project - as of today there is not many google docs/word online alternative that is completely open source. I'm yet to dig the code on how pagination is implemented but if the page

It's fascinating that browsers are one of the most robust and widely available sandboxing system and we are yet to make a claude-code/gemini-cli like agent that runs inside the browser. Browsers as agent environment opens up a ton

I use my phone when I want to measure stuff. Not an app, just the physical phone as a ruler. Almost always the dimensions of whatever phone I've got is published on the internet. It's a quick hack and better than carrying around A

This. A language that doesn't adapt (accumulate shitpile of baggage from other languages over changing times) will be a dead language eventually. English will always have my respect for being open/inclusive and adaptive. Interest

It'd be great if it supports a wasm/web backend as well. I bet a lot of trivial text capabilities (grammar checking, autocomplete, etc) will benefit from this rather than sending everything to a hosted model. It's possible ri

Nice one. How does this relate to/differ from Chrome Devtool's inbuilt network throttling feature? I usually use this Chrome feature to test apps over bad/slow network.

A while back I did this experiment where I asked ChatGPT to imagine a new language such that it's best for AI to write code in and to list the properties of such a language. Interestingly it spit out all the properties that are similar

I also find that sticking to a single file makes coding agents perform better (fewer surgical edits, faster outputs, sensible changes, etc). Not sure why, but the moment the file is split into files and subfolders, coding agents tend to do

At this point Microsoft office suite is practically a monopoly. Governments around the world rely on it. Every big enterprise and every business needs it. The spec for office documents was authored by Microsoft( and approved by Microsoft!).

The criticisms here surprise me. "Programmatic Tool Calling" is a huge leap when you want AI to work with your app - like a human would. I've been trying to get LLMs to work in our word processor documents like a human collab

Just curious: why is committing to open-source an expectation? Is it a moral standard you hold of businesses or is it because of the govt adoption?

Notion's competitor Coda was acquired by grammarly a year ago! It was surprising because the two markets don't overlap at all - but then it makes sense when I realized all data in Notion/Coda/etc are just food for AI com

I helped bootstrap a company that made an enterprise automation engine. The team wanted to make the service available as SaaS for boosting sales. They could have got the job done by hosting the service in a vps with a multi-tenant database

This touches an important debate on user interfaces. Chat/human language based AI vs GUI augmented AI. OpenAI started with chat based AI but have since then realized "text only" doesn’t scale for serious business needs. We se

This will scale when you have a single/a small set of document(s) and want your questions answered. When you have a question and you don't know which of the million documents in your dataspace contains the answer - I'm not s

Sounds like a wild ride! Thanks for making this open-source. Quick question: 1. I see you've hand-written parsers yourself both css & html, why not use existing parsers? was minimizing dependencies one of your goals? 2. Does the pr

Hi Samuel, Building a rendering HTML/CSS rendering engine is no easy job. Congratulations! I'm curious how were you able to pull this off? What documentations were helpful and what was your inspiration? I'm in awe and wat to

This looks promising - thanks for open-sourcing this. This addresses the gap that most work happens in browsers while MCP assumes that work happens with AI clients. I have a fundamental question though: how is it different from directly con

This is technically a CRDT. It's just that the "order of operations" to apply over the doc is now resolved using a central server. For context, this is exactly how Google Docs and Zoho Writer works currently. Except that, the

Microsoft really has to pull itself together in terms of product branding. Microsoft 365 itself was a terrible name for an office suite, but adding a "copilot" at the end is hitting too low a bar. Not sure how it even got an appro
