  If you're like me and uninterested in being locked into using yet another proprietary data silo you might be interested in open-source alternatives like CryptPad[1], Outline[2] and TiddlyWiki[3]. That said these alternatives don't have the whole featureset of every tool in the OP, so I periodically research alternatives too.

  I wonder if Fluid Components will help me use microsoft’s collaboration tools.

  Right now, using office online feels like hiking in shoes that don’t fit. My biggest complaints are the slowness and bugginess of the experience.

  Hard to imagine adding a plug in layer will address those underlying issues, but ill keep hoping while im forced to use these tools.
