I’ve been on the hunt for a Google Keep replacement and the most obvious choice is Quillpad. However it can only sync with Nextcloud and that functionality is somewhat broken. For example, if I create a To Do list in Quillpad, I can of course check the boxes as items are completed. I can do the same in the Nextcloud instance under Tasks. But if I create a To Do list in Nextcloud, you cannot interact with them in Quillpad after it syncs. They’re displayed, but you can’t do anything with them.
All that said, the other choices were Zoho Notebooks (don’t trust them) and Carnet (weirdly slow on my phone) as far as similar apps. Quillpad still seems to be the best. Is there a way to get an app that only syncs with Nextcloud to sync with something else? DavX, Webdav, Caldav, etc? The reason I ask is because I wanted to like Nextcloud, but my admittedly older server (HP Microserver G8) struggles even with the optimized builds and it just has way more features than I need. I have a feeling the answer is no, but thought I’d ask anyway before I continue my hunt.
I do love Markdown. But it is cumbersome with a mobile keyboard. And I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall it not entering a checkbox on the next line after a return. Like I said, the Windows and MacOS apps are terrific. Before I ran into the issues with the Android app I was ready to dive in then realized the files are stored in database rather than flat .md files like Obsidian (and I think Logseq, maybe Trillium too…). Part of my use case for Obsidian is as a daily journal and having the ability for my family/kids read it after I’m gone is vital to me. And a plain text file is readable with anything and requires no export of conversion process like Joplin did. On this topic though, that wouldn’t matter since its mostly To Dos and I don’t care what format those are in.
