What odt editor for Android do you recommend?

JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee to Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org – 16 points –

I searched this community and couldn't find anything about odt, I found a few odt viewers on F-Droid and Aurora when I searched 'odt', but the only editors for odt, were ironically the proprietary Google Documents and Microsoft Word.

Have you found anything else?

Unfortunately, it's not available in the official F-Droid repository, but only by Collabora's own F-Droid repository. I don't want to trust other package managers except those of the official F-Droid repo.

May I ask why? Using alternative sources from the vendors themselves usually isn't any less secure than using the official F-Droid repos. It's a common thing on Linux.

Has Collabora made its packages reproducible, so independent people can check if their package is built from the source code without modification?

Well it seems they don't publish a signing key, so that's a good reason against it.

But it's the official Collabora repo?

Yes, but I don't want to trust a vendor when I have Open Source.

That's a nice find. Odt, ods, and odp, seems to work fine both on phone and tablet.

Collabora Office is the label on my Icon. Same as the name in Play. The Play publisher is Collabora Productivity limited. Rating 4.2 and user count 500K or more.

I do not actually use it much but a family member uses it all the time on their tablet. For me I use mostly Joplin for notes on Android.
