Could you build this?
No Building an entire private workspace suite with mail servers, real-time collaborative docs, spreadsheet calculation engines, and native mobile clients requires immense engineering effort.
What it would actually take: A production workspace requires a distributed architecture: CRDT/OT engines (like Yjs or custom trees) for docs, a high-performance formula computation engine for spreadsheets, full IMAP/SMTP protocol servers, and cross-platform native clients. It demands deep systems programming, distributed synchronization expertise, and massive testing for data durability.
