    What are a few straightforward ways to write notes in Ubuntu Touch and be able to get them on the Internet/WWW on my Debian PC?

        @Opolork I know it is very low tech, but if you want siimple have you tried sending yourself an email?

          This part is easy, setting up a Nextcloud server is not.

          Hi @wgarcia Alas, that's a dealbreaker.

          How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            Hi @Ian. That's certainly the simplest method so far. Perhaps I could even just put it in a draft email in UT and not even have to send it and still see it later when I check my PC at home.

              @Opolork Now I remembered another way. Set up a group in Telegram with somebody you know and than expel him/her, call it "Message to myself". Now you can write in this group and access your notes from any device that also has a Telegram client.

                @wgarcia You can also send messages to yourself on Telegram, it is called Saved Messages.

                  @arubislander Good point, and I see that it is also available in Teleports.

                    Using Syncthing might be the most private solution. Using Telegram's saved messages is the least private but easiest. You could perhaps find trustworthy free Nextcloud accounts and use Jotit which I guess a middle compromise in terms of privacy and ease.

                      My preferred method is when out and about, to open a draft email on whatever email client/web interface on my UT smartphone I use and add to it but not send it. Then later when I open my emails on my home PC, the notes are there. πŸ™‚

                        For notes i use emacs with org-mode on desktop, on my ubuntu touch phone i have created a webapp with webber for organice and it works, just without the offline mode, perhaps noble will have better support for PWA apps. you also need a webdav server for that to synchronize notes with computer. It sucks that i need internet connection (or else it'll sign me outta my webdav server), but its alright for writing/reading notes.

                          Hi @amazones. Thanks but Emacs is not my cup of tea. πŸ™‚
