Onlyoffice Desktop Editors

I was wondering why there is a port of www/onlyoffice-documentserver but not for the desktop editors suite.

Isn't onlyoffice a collection of online editors and not a desktop application?

No. https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx

Well, since the desktop variant incorporate parts of onlyoffice-documentserver, it makes sense to first try to port the server side.
This gives the ability to use it for Nextcloud with the onlyoffice plugin, or another server if it implements the correct API.
The frontend for the desktop editors seems to be a Qt application, so one have to try to build it first before trying to add it to the port tree.

I used the Linux app for years and it's a completely separated and standalone app, much better than Libreoffice IMHO, especially with regards to the Microsoft compatibility. I installed the Windows app on my daughter's Win11 laptop that she uses for homework and stuff and she can open and write perfectly even the latest Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents.
