Collabora Online & Mobile
summary
Collabora Online ports LibreOffice technology into browsers and phones by wrapping the core with a C/C++ header-only API, pushing tiled pixels and document state over a WebSocket daemon while the client caches objects and handles selections locally; security uses a seccomp-bpf chroot sandbox with only NSS libs, and scaling relies on fork/clone memory sharing (string staticization) to get a base process under a few MB and roughly 50 MB per concurrent document; the project reports 50+ million docker pulls and about half a million paying users, fixed clipboard/keyboard web quirks, an Android single-blob build to avoid the 96-shared-library limit, and ongoing UI work (notebookbar, PDF search, chart and pivot editing).
