Review

“Real-time collaborative editing that still feels ahead of the desktop-first alternative.”

Google Workspace was built browser-first, and real-time multi-user editing in Docs and Sheets still feels smoother than most alternatives.

Deep integration with Gmail and Calendar makes it a natural default for startups and browser-native teams.
