UX LibreOffice vs OpenOffice

[LibreOfficeUsername]

Hello,
I’m moving from Google Drive to NextCloud and the phone app needs an editor (until I sort out a convenient FOSS product that edits online seamlessly like GD).

So I’m testing Collabora Office and Documents apps and I’m surprised at the UX difference.
IMHO, LibreOffice has a larger community and deeper FOSS know how, but the Collabora Office (online LibreOffice right?) needs improvement.

For example:
-the weird large balloon, which I assume is to help the user find the cursor?
-the headers only offer H1-H4, but I need at least to H6.
-headers are buried and basic UX loses out to Documents (OpenOffice I believe?).

Hoping for improvements.

This site is about LibreOffice, not Collabora nor NextCloud, OpenOffice neither. If some phone app asks for an editor, I would not install any office suite for an editor.

Think again. LibreOffice is open source, so there is not much secret knowledge, and some improvements in LibreOffice is done by developers working for Collabora, Allotropia etc.
So maybe you find better reasons for their decisions.

But as Villeroy wrote: This is the wrong place for suggestions to Collabora…

Please note also, that this Ask site is completely not about bug reports / enhancement requests. Our mobile app issue tracker is on github. (The CollaboraOnline.github.io that @mariosv pointed to is about something different: it’s the source code for the community site.)

Said app doesn’t ask for an editor per se. Simply opening a document offers upload and read only.
My work around is to use my preferred FOSS editors, LibreOffice.
However it appears LibreOffice is desktop only (perhaps Android mobile?).
Therefore I welcome suggestions.
I’m also curious how Villeroy edits docs if refusing to install office editors, do you mean you use a cloud service, any good ones?

With phones I use plain text or speech. In other words, I may create text content, but not any documents while traveling. If I owned a tablet device, it would run Linux like my laptop does.

Yes, I also use .md markdown and text with some powerful apps, however on occasion a document may be needed. I’m in the process of moving most docs to .md files, but finding a FOSS app that can handle large .md or text data from 29-200 pages seems elusive.
