Framasoft, which already provide framapad.org also provide :

Is it possible to add them to the list of servers available in the app, with a special message that this aren't classical pad from Etherpad or framapas, but more something like excel and powerpoint? Also is it possible to add different icons for documents: one for classical "pads", one for "calcs" and one for "slides", so that we can see the different sorts of documents easily?

Hi,

I tried a bit. Ethercalc works indeed because the app is based on WebView, but still the interface is slow and unpractical when using a phone. Strut isn't mobile-friendly either, moreover it's still under development.

The incompatibility actually kills the purpose of the app, which is to make it easier to edit etherpad on Android devices. So at this moment I'm not going to implement any of those services.

No problem, I just found it interesting to think about it :) Thanks for having a look at it!
