Does anyone here know about any FOSS office suite for android?

Im searching for a FOSS office suite for android that is not cloud based and that lets me both view, create, and edit documents
so far the only thing that i found that meets all those requirements is collabora, BUT IS TRASH!, i literally cannot even scroll down without it glitching out and sending me to a whole different part of the document! -

Markdown does a great job for me
I started switching over to plaintext files with Markdown a few years ago. It's been great for interoperability. I don't need to use a heavy program on my desktop or phone. I can view, edit, whatever I need as long as I have terminal access.

It won't open unless google play is installed.
and it also checks for billing for some reason -

— The official LibreOffice viewer, available for Android. True, it mostly only has viewing and very basic editing. But it's native and offline.OnlyOffice (standalone version is optional)
— There's an Android app that can be used offline, with support for major formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). Although the software is not fully FOSS, the client is open, the server can be stored. Collabora works better on mobile devices.OpenDocument Reader/Editor
— Less well known, but a simple ODT rider and editor, you can search for it in F-Droid. Very lightweight and offline.AndrOpen Office
— A port of Apache OpenOffice to Android, fully offline and FOSS. The interface is old-fashioned, but the functionality is decent. -

I have used groff, tex and latex, and typst recently (on Termux, obviously) with various degrees of success. I wonder when we will have FOSS apps that are as usable or more than Google's Docs and Sheets.
If your PDF viewer supports re-reading when file is changed (or reloading file every time app comes to foreground, I suppose),
typst watchand that viewer open is the closest to a WYSIWYG I could get working.
