Web-based Office Apps

Slashdot pointed me to a post on ZDnet about available offlice like apps for the web. There is some really nice stuff in there. FCKEditor is a seemingly very nice editor, but there are a lot of those out there. Writely seems to be very nice indeed though. Kiko allows you to do a spreadsheet online and S5 is a framework for building presentations online via CSS. Nice stuff indeed.

    ZDnet posted a full day or so before the /. article:

    Agree with you about not knowing why FCKEditor was included in that list, since it’s just a WYSIWYG textarea. I played around with integrating WYSIWYG with DokuWiki [http://wiki.splitbrain.org and tried out FCKEditor, TinyMCE, Xinha, and a few others… ended up going with Xinha, although they’re all dog-slow in almost every browser. So all that work and I still use the plain text editing mode :)
    Have any experiences with a speedy WYSIWYG-textarea wiki/blog/whatever? Gotta be something better out there…!
