Once upon a time (read: a couple of decades ago) there was the OLE technology. It allowed to share mainly Microsoft files among apps, so to work “live” on them. It never became mainstream. It never died ufficially either, but it has been buried as time went by: not enough reliable (prone to lose data), not enough general (Win only).
Enter Fluid Framework as a substitute. The technology tries to do what OLE was not able to fully accomplish: more reliable, more general, and above all collaborative. Some Office and connected apps (Teams in primis) has started to pick up components from it already, as noticed.
Loop is (will be) a specific (and it is claimed “flexible”) canvas app, using workspaces, pages, and sub-pages, based on Fluid Framework.
Disclaimer note: This is what I understood so far. Time and - I am sure - someone here will correct or improve my interpretation.
