Cloud synchronization
Here an interesting conversation about it. https://plus.google.com/117297788110582039561/posts/UGTjPbXNj5e
Yes, it would! But not being an ownCloud user I think I'll not develop it personally.
I'll e glad to evaluate pull requests anyhow!
I think using APIs provided by Evernote to achieve sync may be a good choice.
Is this feature going to be developed? Should be just great having such an amazing app notes synchronized with open source plattform as well :+1:
Also really keen to see a sync feature! Really liking the Omni Notes app, and this is the only thing that's really holding back its usefulness day-to-day.
As another possible synchronisation option, I'd put forward remoteStorage, which could allow syncing a number of open source desktop note-taking apps, such as Laverna.
Stay tuned with this branch https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes/commits/feature/json-sync @supportreq
Now that I'm hardening both the Android app and the desktop application I'm back on the cloud-sync topic.
Due to the fact that I've an "unlimited" PHP hostin plan, after evaluating some nice Java-based solution (mainly BaaS) I've now found an interesting solution on Hook.
Someone has experience with it? @r0bbie (are you the guy from F-Droid?)?
NextCloud sync (like https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-notes does) would be great.
Maybe a WebDAV solution is more widely usable. NextCloud, Homeserver, bare Webserver and many more. No need for php or anything else.
You could take a look at https://github.com/yeonsh/Sardine-Android
I've prepared a Nextcloud instance to start working with their SDK, it seems an interesting solution that could be implemented both as a centralized cloud service or a distribuited home-service.
Maybe better start with a centralized service… Most NextCloud users self-host their server and have all their data there so that's okay. Of course, you should allow users to enter their own NextCloud URL…
That's the plan @rugk
It should be noted that keeping central instance of Nextcloud publically accessible will take me a certain amount of time. Mainly for security.
Ah, so you want to offer a NextCloud instance for this notes app? I think this is not necessary as there are some, new users can use and most NextCloud users already use a self hosted version. So I would prioritise the implementation work. All other NextCloud apps I have seen also do not have a default server.
Wouldn't it be easiest to just implement a generic sync with a WebDAV server? You could still set up a default server (using whatever server software you want that supports WebDAV, including a Nextcloud instance) but also lets people use their own solution, even if it's not Nextcloud. Other self-hosted servers like Seafile provide acces via the WebDAV standard as well as some propritary Storage as a Service - providers like cloudme (unfortunately not the big players like dropbox and gdrive, but I heard there are workarounds).
I left Omninotes cause its lack of cloud sync (luckily cause I lost two phones in this time), but now I'm back trying the app and it's exactly what I need/want. But sad to see that doesn't have any sync yet. Any plans for do it soon?
@federicoiosue Are you still working on the Nextcloud sync functionality? It would be amazing to have!! In the meantime, is there a way to export and import manually? E.g. in order to elaborate on the notes on my laptop using copy&paste?
This is the only thing that is keeping me from using Omni-Notes. I don't have much free time to help with development currently but I would pay a few € to someone that implemented Nextcloud Notes sync ;-)
NC notes aren't really feature rich, they are just .txt files. Maybe Omni syncing should be implemented as a separate thing and not using the NextCloud notes
Maybe it can just save them as text files (some markdown format or whatever) and let Nextcloud sync it. (when https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/285 is implemented)
@federicoiosue Are you still working on this feature? It's have been about 4 years and three phones ago and there's still no other notes takeing app I trust. But that Sync-Thing would be really fine to have. At least some kind of dumb device-sync to webdav (probably SyncML?) would be enough . Editing via browser would be nice but too far out of focus I believe...
