    You know that OnlyOffice doesn’t care about bug reports don’t you? I mean Latin chars such as “é à í” have been broken in the iPad version while using a keyboard since… ever. Dozens of reports filled by multiple people, problem still there.

      I see 306 issues and 0 pull requests. That’s got to be a bit discouraging as an open source project maintainer - plenty of people filing bug reports but no one that cares enough to help fix the bugs.

        Don’t forget that OnlyOffice isn’t truly open-source. It is a commercial company selling an alternative to MS Office that is focused on the server for collaboration and you’ve to pay for it. We can’t except much traction from people on a project that works like that. Even the license is kind of questionable as it is AGPL but their websites isn’t so clear on how free you’re to use it and modify the thing.

          I don’t think there are any sustainable fully open source software out there that are used for consumers besides the ones that reach a critical mass of support. And even then as a software gets more complex the more there are sacrifices to the FOSS model. You should read the boad discuss forum for TDF/Libreoffice. Collabora is trying to nerf the free version of TDF and the board reps are in this toxic battle with Collabora board reps. Eventually FOSS software needs a stable revenue stream besides donations.

            Yes, yes I’ve been following that since LibreOffice Online was frozen.
