LibreOffice on mobile with the Collabora Office app

Collabora Online is an online document editor based on LibreOffice, but there's also both an Android and an iOS Collabora Office app based on the same technology - LibreOffice Kit. Have you ever wondered how it works?

In this talk, I'll give a high-level overview of the architecture of the Collabora Office mobile app. Along the way, I'll discuss how it's similar but different to the Collabora Online server, and what limitations on the mobile platform (for example a lack of availability of clipboard web APIs) pushed us to write in the way that we have.
