*** The project is experimental and far from finished. It's presented for testing, feedback and demo purposes only (USE RESPONSIBLY!). ***

This project isnt finished enough to compare to Microsoft Office. This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed functionality. Allowing users to get started without setup.

I have a demo version for testing. It isnt ready to replace any existing app or service, but it would be great to get your feedback on it.

The implementation is based on the functionality described in a previous post.

Never thought you were required to open source any of your work, only wondering if it was open source.

I appreciate you providing clarifications. Good luck with the app.
