I know that. Thats the way to access a document while keeping it on the server: only a tile or a window. And is it possible to explain why these (nextcloud ea) only get bitmaps. That's not something like a text, which you can edit and send back. Are you sure bitmaps are used. For example how can you change the font in a bitmap. It's a image format, not a text format. > This architecture has benefits like "your documents never leave the > server" and also that there are ~no edit conflicts, but has costs like > very hard integration with an existing running server. Yes that a document stays on the server is great. No edit conflicts are there only when the server supports "locking" of a part/tile/window of the document. (like: others can view your tile at most, but cannot edit, and two tiles of different users can not overlap) Huh? I do not understand what you say. What existing running server. You mean libreoffice, but then running as server?
