Nextcloudskriv is a concept for a Nextcloud-based writing and document‑collaboration environment designed to extend Nextcloud with focused, real‑time writing workflows. The project envisions a lightweight, integrated interface for drafting, revising, and sharing long‑form documents within the Nextcloud ecosystem, leveraging the existing file storage and user management.

Key features of Nextcloudskriv would include real‑time editing with presence indicators, support for rich text and markdown, document versioning and comments, and granular access controls. Documents would be stored directly in Nextcloud storage, enabling standard file synchronization, sharing, and recovery. The integration could connect with established editors such as Collabora Online or OnlyOffice via the Nextcloud app framework, allowing users to edit within familiar environments while keeping the document stored in Nextcloud.

From a technical perspective, Nextcloudskriv would be implemented as a Nextcloud app that uses the Nextcloud app framework for user authentication and permission handling. It would store document metadata in the Nextcloud database and synchronize edits through a chosen collaboration backend, potentially leveraging WebSocket or CRDT/OT‑style synchronization. Offline work would be supported by local staging of changes, with automatic synchronization when connectivity returns, and all edits would be subject to Nextcloud’s versioning system.

As of now, Nextcloudskriv remains a conceptual or community‑driven proposal rather than an official Nextcloud component. It serves as a blueprint for evaluating integrated writing workflows within Nextcloud, highlighting considerations around real‑time collaboration, performance at scale, and alignment with Nextcloud’s security and storage model.
