Collabora/OnlyOffice replacement for Proton Docs
I love the Proton services, but Proton Docs is terrible and I severely doubt that Proton at their current size will be able to develop and maintain their own suite of Office apps.
So; my idea is to make use of already existing solutions to Office collaboration, such as Collabora.
I currently maintain a Nextcloud instance (it's kind of the free & open-source Office 365) at my workplace and installed the Collabora apps onto it. The Collabora office apps are already feature complete and would not necessitate feature development by Proton, simply maintenance. They work perfectly for what I need from them and collaboration is near-instantaneous.
Overall, this would be a win-win for Proton and users, since Proton has to spend less resources on developing their Office apps (instead perhaps supporting the Office projects instead) and the apps, since they are complete - will provide a much greater user experience than the shallow text document editor we currently have access to.

Thanks for the suggestion; if you have specific features which would improve proton docs then they would be beneficial to have them asked for here, so that we can bring it in line with the expectations of the community.
