Good stuff.

I would love to see the open source community get together to create a web based open source version of Microsoft Word rather than hundreds of basic text editors.

Even adding something as basic as "Pages" would help move this in that directions as it would open up the ability to export to actual document types like PDF and DOCX.

There is a version of LibreOffice that you can use online.

Main code here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-online/

But this doesn't include some of the batteries. For that, you'd look here: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/

Where they offer a downloadable on-premise applicance (Docker) you can use. They also have a hosted version, if you'd rather just use their infrastructure.
