Original: Creator of free vibed Adobe clones unveils vibed open-source Microsoft Office Excel, PowerPoint, and Word replications —

A developer known for building free, open-source recreations of Adobe software has released open-source replicas of Microsoft's Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. The projects aim to offer alternatives to paid subscription software, and the developer reportedly has plans to tackle Autodesk tools and other subscription-based services next. Coverage from Tom's Hardware is drawing attention to the effort.
