WPS Office is proprietary, Chinese spyware

Check out OnlyOffice if you want a FOSS alternative to Microsoft Office

But I agree, LaTeX is the best choice for academic writing, there are great apps like Overleaf and Typst that significantly simplify the process

Spez would never do this on purpose, he's a good guy

I like Overleaf for LaTeX, you can even self-host it.

Reasonable choice

I tried it over and over, found the UI and UX to be pretty poor, and the app is pretty buggy. It had an issue for months that caused comments to sometimes be posted twice or more, it was incredibly annoying.

They should really use SecureDrop

Bad choice, many new users specifically came here because of !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which can't be accessed from lemmy.world.

Never tried Raccoon, but I used Connect for a while, it's not bad, but unfortunately proprietary :(

Or does it just bother you to know, in the back of your mind, that it is not native?

That's why I said that this is stupid and petty, but the thought alone makes my blood boil. And it's not the same as with normal Electron apps on desktop, I also hate those, but for different reasons. Voyager looks just like a native iOS app, which makes this even worse for me, as I'm allergic to this kind of HTML/CSS/JS imitation of native UI libraries. Something about it just feels so wrong to me as a developer, I don't know.

But I recommend you don't actually listen to me, just use whatever you like.

You can also get it from the Play Store, or directly from GitHub via Obtainium
