jtxBoard VS CryptPad

JTX Board, it's an Android app for tasks, notes, and journals, it uses iCalendar to store all the data, and integrates with DAVx⁵ to sync your data to any CalDAV server, such as Nextcloud, so you can see your tasks in the Nextcloud web app, and automaticlly sync them to your PC.

I use the Nextcloud app on my KDE Plasma laptop, and it works perfectly, I only realized this works when reminders started magically showing up on my laptop without me needing to set anything up

jtx board one of my fav. foss apps, you can do much more than journaling (task, notes) and if you want only journal, you can disable others also.

Does anyone have experience with Jtx board? I am thinking of using it as daily journal app, for other features like taks and notes i use seperate apps, can i use it as local app as i don't want to use nextcloud sync or Davx⁵ with it, is it recommanded ? Currently using My brain but seems like devlopment is slow and dev. doesn't have time to maintain it Any suggestions are welcome :)

jtx Board is a powerful app to have your tasks, journals and notes with you. You can add all kind of attachments to it (images, voice recordings, etc). You can even mix-match between Journals/Notes/Tasks (like add tasks to notes or vice versa).

jtx Board journals|notes|tasks (version 2.01.01-rc12.ose): Keep track of journals, notes & tasks - iCalendar compliant and syncable with yo

In my frustration with MS Office, I gave it a chance and searched for MS Office alternatives ... and found https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad ! Looks quite nice. Maybe I should set that up on a server.

https://cryptpad.org/

There's a public instance in France to try it out.

CryptPad provides a full-fledged office suite with all the tools necessary for productive collaboration.

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

I work for XWiki SAS. Two products we develop have it:

- XWiki, a extensible wiki platform, experimentally [1] but soon to be fully supported

- CryptPad [2], an end-to-end encrypted collaborative platform. And actually, CryptPad was accidentally born as a first attempt to have this feature in XWiki.

Hey, very happy to see you so enthusiastic!

I'll be sure to transmit your feedback to the CryptPad team.

I'm not an expert myself so while I might know some stuff, it'd be better to talk to them directly.

Come say hello on the Matrix #cryptpad-general channel [1], don't hesitate to open issues on the bug tracker, and to browse the CryptPad's website [2].

It's not LibreOffice, but while revisiting CryptPad (which I thought was a multiplayer notepad like etherpad or codimd, except with an encryption key in the url fragment identifier) I was impressed to see that they're expanding to become an entire office suite. You get a WYSIWYG editor (I'd rather wish for markdown but ok), spreadsheet editor, survey forms, and more which I don't remember, all live like google docs but (as I understand it, I didn't audit it) end to end encrypted between the users. It's a bit sluggish because everything has to happen on the client side, so it's a lot of JavaScript, but after the page loads it works smoothly. You can self host it as well, there's a list of instances somewhere on https://cryptpad.org with the official instance being https://cryptpad.fr

LibreOffice has a ton more features and is way harder to port. Case in point: I was at an open source conference where LibreOffice proudly demo'd their new server version, saying it used mapnik. Me, confused, asked huh why'd you use an OpenStreetMap rendering library? Turns out they basically run the ancient C++ UI on the server and make a VNC-like connection and that map tiles is the easiest or fastest way to load the screen. At least, that's what I remember from that presentation, I haven't looked into that madness further, but that's LibreOffice online...

Currently I'm looking at https://cryptpad.org/. But maybe there is an alternative that sucks even less?!
