I wonder if this has something to do with the EuroOffice drama. It’s too bad, this was the only decent FOSS office app for Android.
Edit: Some commenters say this may not have been fully FOSS despite some of the code being published.
Excuse me?? I’m sorry, but OnlyOffice is not FOSS. Hell, it’s not even fully OSS in the first place, how are you calling it FOSS??
i had no idea. i assumed since the source code appeared to be on github (along with releases), it was.
Source available fails on principles of open source. Such as the right to modify and distribute.
EuroOffice forked it, right? Let’s hope they publish it soonish.
I don’t see a fork on their account. The account description does say they’re working on a mobile app though, so hopefully it’s just private for now.
@Dr_Vindaloo If it as on the github, how many people did fork it before? The source itself is still here, question is its license.
Collabora office
What office suite is ideal for Linux users then? Only office has been acting shady. Libreoffice, for the love of god I cannot use with that UI. If they improve the UI, I will switch to it in an instant. Now euroffice seems to have some promise but we will need to see.
As a daily LibreOffice user, I agree with you on the UI. I can’t even keep track of how many different settings menus there are and each of them are a labyrinth unto themselves. What ended up saving my sanity was setting the UI to single toolbar and purging every unnecessary button in Calc and Writer. Might be unpopular, but I then arranged the remaining toolbar features the way they do in Google Docs. For Impress, I set it to the tabbed ribbon-esque interface.
@thedormantotaku @Dr_Vindaloo Maybe I am an old boy. I have written a book with libreoffice writer. It had also embedded tables and libredraw pictures.
I never got the hang of the UI tbh. It doesn’t look polished enough. Though its functional for sure. I can do almost everything in libreoffice suite. It just feels unintuitive and uncomfortable tbh
@thedormantotaku A possible side-effect that I remember as micro$oft “improved” its office outlook, maybe with office 2k3 or so. I hated that. Many, particularly the windows UI based companies, followed it. OpenOffice/LibreOffice intentionally ignored it. And I was a linuxer.
But young people can not really remember it.
Yeah that’s before I was born so I dont have any idea. My first exposure to.office suite was office 2010 so that has shaped my habits. Fuck Microsoft tho

@Dr_Vindaloo Btw, actuall what made libreoffice/openoffice so hard to port to android?
Does OnlyOffice have an OnlyFans account?
