- Goodbye, Microsoft: Schleswig-Holstein Relies on Open Source and Saves Millions
I find Onlyoffice to be the closest alternative. It presents itself as a hosted office platform but you can actually install it locally and it feels just like an office program.
It's not the most efficient, being effectively a webview. But its UI and compatibility is imho much better than LibreOffice.

Check https://www.onlyoffice.com/ honestly it's pretty good, open source, multiplatform and it opens everything I've thrown at it so far.
I like libre in general but one too many times it just didn't play ball with some random docx documents.

There's also onlyoffice [1] which recently got a little more traction due to its integrations for moodle, owncloud, nextcloud etc. I think all of their software is AGPL3 licensed last time I checked.

In true hackernews fashion I'll mention their competitor as my personal preference. Their editors are IMO much faster and slicker. I have very light document needs and this other open source software suite serves me very well. Although I appreciate libreoffice, I never did like using it.

- ZetaOffice: LibreOffice in the Browser
That's excellent! You guys should interact with Nextcloud or someone should try their hand at a Nextcloud App [1]. Nextcloud's solution to Google Docs & friends is via the integration of OnlyOffice[2], which requires a DocumentServer [3] to function in the context of Nextcloud. Even without the collaboration aspect, having LibreOffice work off WASM, without any extra infrastructure requirement would be an excellent edition to that ecosystem I think.
