Could you build this?
No Creating a viable alternative to Microsoft Office or Google Workspace requires immense software engineering effort across document rendering, complex state management, rich text engines, spreadsheet calculation graphs, and multi-user CRDT synchronization.
What it would actually take: A real office suite requires canvas/SVG-based rendering engines, custom layout systems that reproduce Word/Excel docx/xlsx specifications, and a distributed CRDT/OT collaborative editing infrastructure. The stack typically combines Rust/WASM or C++ for performance-critical document models and calculation engines with a high-performance web frontend. It demands large dedicated engineering teams with deep expertise in layout algorithms, file format specifications, and distributed data sync.
