Feature request: list synchronisation/sharing

[axelsimon]

Hi, I realise this feature request might be at odds with ShoLi's stated minimal featureset goal, however it could be very useful so I thought it worth suggesting.

ShoLi does an excellent job at providing a simple, useable shopping list and I've used it for several years as my main shopping list. However, it provides no way of being used efficiently for a shared shopping list, used by more than one person.

Providing a way to save the list to a shared folder (say, a nextcloud or syncthing folder) or another sync mechanism would make it possible for two people to share the list, find items added by the other person and by them, or conversely avoid buying items that the other person has already bought.

In my opinion, this would be a very useful feature.

There is currently another FOSS Android app aiming to provide a simple, text-based shopping list that is syncable, ShoppingList, but it is missing several useful features (deduplication, for instance) and syncing is currently far too hard to set up. Maybe some collaboration would be possible.

Thanks in any case for considering this idea :)
