Docs (La Suite Numérique) is an open-source, self-hostable collaborative text editor and knowledge base positioned as an alternative to Notion and Google Docs. It pairs a Django REST backend with a React/BlockNote.js block editor and Yjs-powered real-time collaboration, offering nested sub-documents, granular access control, version history, and docx/markdown import with docx/odt/pdf export.

Use cases

• self-host a Notion or Google Docs alternative with full data ownership
• collaboratively edit documents in real time with live cursors and comments
• build a team knowledge base with nested pages and hierarchies
• share documents with granular view/comment/edit permissions or public links
• write and organize internal documentation with rich text and markdown
• import docx or markdown files and export to docx, odt, or pdf
• keep team documents on my own infrastructure instead of a SaaS vendor
• collaborative writing platform for government or public organizations

When to choose

• You want a self-hosted, open-source Notion/Google Docs alternative where you own the data
• Your team needs browser-based real-time co-editing with presence, comments, and sharing
• You need hierarchical documents and sub-pages forming a searchable knowledge base
• You require granular access control including external guests and public share links
• You are a public organization or company that prefers EU-backed, MIT-licensed software

When to avoid

• You need a static-site documentation generator for code projects (use MkDocs or Docusaurus instead)
• You need native desktop or mobile offline-first editors rather than a web app
• You want Notion-style databases, spreadsheets, or a large plugin marketplace
• You need a lightweight single-user notes app and don't want to run a server
