StandAlone OnlyOffice (SAOO)

This fork of OnlyOffice's DocumentServer is an attempt to create a purely NodeJS-based online editor for Office documents with the fidelity or OnlyOffice.

Thus far, it is a recipe to port a standalone editor for spreadsheets based on a running instance of the OnlyOffice installed over Docker and on the source of OnlyOffice.

Progressively, the source will be more used and the running instance will not be used anymore.

How to Install

Areas of investigations

• Something that produces Editor.bin ? (seems open as per this thread). Investigations thus far seem to show me that the file is almost produced through proprietary code.
• Something that produces fonts? Currently this is a breaking case.
• A complete build system
