Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?...
I did it twice. I knew for certain the second time around, yet I still did it . Didn’t get me a third time, though. No regrets now, a long time later, but those extra years were hard.
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...
I’ve been on this same journey for a long time - a search for something easy like Google Keep but private and preferably self-hostable. The problem I see with a lot of the options out there is they want to be a full-blown note taking / second brain app and focus on markdown as the input method. That’s way too cumbersome for when I just want to jot down something quickly and make a quick to-do/shopping list.
The next development/feature milestone listed in the Quillpad roadmap is “General cloud syncing”, but nothing has changed on that front for a long time - seems like at least a year. I’ll happily give them money if they’d focus on fulfilling their roadmap.
I also don’t want to spin up a Nextcloud server just to sync Quillpad. I have no desire to use any other feature of Nextcloud - I’ve tried it in the past and it wasn’t for me. But I finally gave in this past weekend set it up using the linuxserver.io docker image. I removed all the plug-ins it would let me to try and get it bare-bones as possible. Not an ideal solution but it works for now.
Tell us your definitive "I really should not do this" moment.

Sync to Nextcloud....without Nextcloud
