Last year was a great year for OpenDocument Reader:
- We have officially founded a company in order to legally back the success of the app.
- The app offers a good-enough offline experience for a huge range of file types, including video, audio and images! OH MY!
- App Store Optimization shot us up to rank #1 on iOS and rank #2 on Android when searching for "LibreOffice" in most countries.
- Did I mention that we've launched an iOS app? Yeah we did, and it's doing great with thousands of downloads and good ratings from day 1.
- We've decided to invest some of the revenue generated through the app (on Android) by hiring freelancers to support different development activities. Right now we have each one C++, Mobile and DevOps developer supporting us occasionally.
- Andi went out of his way and keeps improving our shiny new C++ version of the core engine. Because ODF is only one huge, complicated and messy standard to deal with, he decided to start working on support for OOXML (Microsoft Office) too. Alright!
- We're close to launching much improved PDF support using an external open source library.
Last but not least, we're trying to get used to posting updates about our work every now and then online. Let's see how long this keeps going :)
