@thunderbird Hmm. Interesting, and I do use both on various platforms. But I would never want to see features like these to delay other primary features of either of them. @libreoffice

@btaroli @libreoffice Totally understood, Bill. We don't see that happening, since this post is made to inspire community contributions and not sidetrack our core team from developing awesome Supernova stuff.

LibreOffice

@btaroli @thunderbird We're very much a "doers-decide" project no nothing could get delayed. We're showing what ideas are out there, and how to make them happen – by diving in, or funding developers! 👍

Sounds like an amazing idea! Making things more interoperable will only improve linux in general.
My only concern is will this work if one or both apps are a flatpak/snap? It will be confusing to newer users if this works sometimes but not others.

Sounds great!
BUT PLEASE use standardized APIs and don't integrate "Microsoft style" with non-standardized interfaces, but with lots of bells and whistles!
Ideas like "for example, an ODT file can be viewed and edited directly in Thunderbird" sound a lot like MS-Teams. Pure horror!
AND ALSO für "consistent UI/UX ...unified settings"....PLEASE respect OS (theme) settings. Mozilla has ignored this more and more lately. Unfortunately!
Thanks!

@thunderbird @libreoffice love these ideas, especially #3. I think integration of desktop apps is the main thing missing from desktop Linux. Microsoft actually does a great job of it; I have to use Windows at my job, and am grateful for how easy they make working between applications. I use Fedora at home and have customized my workflow using plugins and scripts and everything else but it would be great for integration to come out-of-the-box.

Hello @thunderbird @libreoffice, my old friends,
why not fixing this 11 year old and still annoying bug ?
bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.

@thunderbird @libreoffice All I want to see is Libreoffice to implement tabs as Thunderbird.

LibreOffice

@lfromanini @thunderbird There's already a request for this: bugs.documentfoundation.org/sh – But we have very limited resources! Please consider funding a developer, and we can get that feature very quickly 😊
