Exciting news for open-source community – we have opened the source code of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors.
Why to use
ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is an office suite that allows users to create, view and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations on PC or Mac without Internet connection. Being fully compatible with MS Office, the editors also support other popular formats, including ODF.
