We don't aim to replace LibreOffice, at all! CryptPad is an online collaboration suite, its goal is to allow realtime edition of a wide range of documents. From Rich Text, to Kanban and even Form or Diagram, we got you covered.
Please check our project website for generic information: https://cryptpad.org
Our documentation, with more in-depth infos as well: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/index.html

Now we just need a EU smartphoneOS to get rid of big techs hold on the users.
SailfishOS ?
@Tutanota OK, I understand that we need to switch from Big Tech (already done so), but please Can You start focusing more on improving the UI of the Tuta apps on Desktop & Mobile?
Some suggestions: Bring Material You support, more elegant/modern icons, more theming options etc.
Would be greatly appreciated and much more appealing to other people too.
@minimal_aesthetique Noted, will pass it on.

FOSS lover 100%, this is constructive criticism from a guy forced into an evilcorp stack at work: FOSS has nothing that can compete with Google and MS yet. I've tried but they're fragmented, non-integrated.
I process hundreds of emails a day and can do a ton of efficient powerful things from a single interface to manage/edits files, meetings, contacts, tasks and more.
The FOSS alternatives: frankly primitive in comparison. Lets catch up!!
@Tutanota @nextcloud @notesnook @CryptPad @MistralAI Could you help to create sort of 2026 challenge to move gradually? It is hard to do this at obce but maybe with community shareing tipps... Why not?
@Tutanota what is the reminders alternative
@Tutanota I'm less convinced about the AI agent promotion, especially in the light of the unfolding Clawdbot debacle.

AI slop hurts your soul.
It makes you: distrustful, dismissive of creative works, uncreative, derivative, imaginatively stunted, unreflective, dependant, it robs you of the satisfaction and growth granted by the creative process and it poisons you with all the same cultural biases taken from the training data.
AI robs people of imagination and the drive to create and instead produces output that is pastiche on steroid, uninspired unchallenging slop, every little detail crafted without personality or opinion with nothing to say except "this might vaguely remind you of something good that already existed"
I am also particularly concerned about the rise of chatbots pretending to be humans for political purposes.
@Tutanota I do wonder if promoting LLMs that have stolen the collective works of artists and, in fact, everyone, and continue to cause massive environmental damage is entirely ethical of you.
@thejessiekirk You're right. That's also why we do not add AI features to Tuta. Yet, this is to show there are better alternatives to Big Tech, in regards to AI, the alternative is not perfect, though, you're absolutely right.
@Tutanota @thejessiekirk The correct alternative to AI as it currently stands would be either a blank space or a "NO" sign in the lower right spot.
@Tutanota I'm quite certain I'm talking to someone that is intellectual, thoughtful and ethical, and I suspect the pragmatic recommendation of an LLM makes you just as uncomfortable as me. I merely ask you to reconsider as an organisation as to whether you should continue to do that.
There is no such thing as ethical AI. There's no right way to do the wrong thing, don't compromise on the pollution of the information sphere and denigration of art and culture and proliferation of consciousness-impersonating political agents

Here are more tips to deGoogle: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list
@Tutanota @nextcloud @notesnook @CryptPad @MistralAI I feel liberated now that I've quit Google. It's wild how people just ignore the fact that half their search results are sponsored.
