Every now and then I add new touches to my hobby project at

https://nobsutils.com

It's a collection of small tools that run locally in your browser which, over time, I've built to serve my needs mostly. This has been living on my home NAS for a while. When I created the flashcards maker to help my 10 years old son prepare for a Spelling bee word quiz, it became popular with his schoolmates and I got some new drive to make it public.

Can you guys recommend an android app which can do simple edits (mostly data entry) on spreadsheet .ODS files stored locally on the device. Right now I use Collabora but UX is not the best and it feels very slow and unresponsive at times. MS Excel requires conversion to xlsx before you can edit and Google Sheets requires to upload to google drive so neither is an option. Any alternatives?

This is great indeed but IMO only tech nerds can really appreciate it. My son is 10 and he never really needs to deal with real files. Nowadays normal kids just go any given app to access their photos or docs or music or movies or really anything. The notion of copying a file has been replaced by sharing, renaming doesn't really exists when it comes to photos for example and folder structure (when available) is some form of tags and labels depending on the particular app. It's sad. What do you think, are files a thing of the past?
