Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

It's nice to see the suite is still being developed, and kudos to such a small team for making such polished software.
My only caution is the sidebar design decision may be problematic? That's an awfully large amount of screen real estate being taken up compared to the Tab/Ribbon design used by other Office software. That is particularly important as it reduces the width available for a document and so squashes reducing the size of text etc on screen. Some of that may just be preference but that might also have impact for accessibility for people with sight impairment.
Huh? That's the best thing about Calligra by far. Why waste valuable vertical real estate on toolbars and ribbons when you can shove a sidebar in all of that empty wasted margin space? Plus, the whole thing is customizable. It doesn't have to be a sidebar if you don't like sidebars.
