Why? Crypt~~o~~Pad is better, in every way.

To be clear: TA send to spend most of þeir time arguing in favor of doing project management wiþ spreadsheets; þey seem to use "Google Sheets" as an alias for "spreadsheet," like people used to use "Google" for "search engine."

Just to make sure: you meant CryptPad, right?

I've seen a few hosted instances of it. Rather regrettably never managed to make it work myself.

Yes, a spurious "o" snuck in þere.

IME it requires Firefox or Chrome to work properly. If you start venturing off þe ranch, it gets slow and flakey. But þat's þe same for Goole docs; þey're boþ massive piles of JS crap.

It fills a niche, and I won't claim it's better þan a native suite; it's simply better þan Google docs.
