OnlyOffice seem to have taken down their Android app source code (github.com)

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.

FOSS office app for Android.

OnlyOffice mobile app is not fully FOSS. It is impossible to build it from source, as it requires dependencies from private repos.

    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??

    EuroOffice forked it, right? Let's hope they publish it soonish.

    @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.

    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.

    LibreOffice has multiple UIs to choose from and allows a huge amount of customisation, what are you on about? Did you last use it 10 years ago or something?

    You might enjoy LibreOffice after changing to a different UI, here's how:

    Select a preferred user interface variant as follows:

    Open a LibreOffice module to change the user interface.

    Go to View > User Interface on the Menu bar to open the Select Your Preferred User Interface dialog (Figure 12).

    Select the preferred user interface from the options available in UI variants. A preview of the selected user interface is displayed in the dialog.

    To use the selected user interface for all LibreOffice modules, click on Apply to All.

    To only use the selected user interface for the LibreOffice module that is open, click on Apply to {Module}, for example Apply to Writer.

    Click on Close to close the dialog.

    @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.

    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.

    I’ve been a happy OnlyOffice user for a while now.

    However, if the people behind are crap, I wouldn’t mind moving to something else.

    I’d only want it to work easily with kDrive (cloud storage) and also be able to do light work on my iPhone.

    Do you know if this could be done with one of its alternatives?

    Does OnlyOffice have an OnlyFans account?

    onlyoffice ownership is so sketchy that germany had to fork it and create Euro Office.

    Who cares about this Russian closed source scam of a suite. I recommend switching to LibreOffice or NextCloud / Collabora

    Maybe just a move away from Github? Which would be a positive development.
