This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany
Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS).
It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.
The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.
Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.
You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:

Als Antwort auf Valmond • • •If you want to selfhost your own messenger, you can with Matrix or XMPP. XMPP, for ex, is the protocol used by WhatsApp.
Edited: removed Signal. Actually it seems it's the encryption tool (OMEMO) for XMPP that is based on Signal protocol.

Maybe we're wrong but for the moment they're not interoperable.
But the new European DMA regulation requires platforms to be interoperable. Meta and Apple are obliged now to open up their apps to communicate with smaller rival apps such as Signal. Apps using XMPP may be allowed to communicate with other apps in the future, although this seems to pose some security risks.
Some information about the requirement for interoperability between messengers:

If I don't want to be on WhatsApp, Messenger, Threads, or whatever, why would I want my Signal messages to end up there?
Tobias Ernst mag das.
