    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?

        @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. 🙂

            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

              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. 🙂

                  There is an app called Gotify on the app store. You need to set up a self hosted server. I haven't tried it myself but it looks interesting.

                    Hi @Rondarius. Thanks, but that's overkill for my use case.

                      @amazones Were you able to install any emacs packages? I really want to do PDF, HTML and audio annotation (bookmarks/highlights and comments) with emacs, but I would want it to work universally (not just on my desktop, but on my phone as well).

                      Something else I would like to try is this: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/kiwix.html

                        @wgarcia Yes, on 24.04-1.1 on Fairphone 5 the button to connect to Evernote does not do anything. Do you have any tips on setting up sync with NextCloud, such as any resources which were useful to you in the process? It could greatly benefit others on the forums (including me 😉 )

                          @Opolork The draft email method is quite clever and I would use it if it worked on my gmail, but unfortunately it doesn't.

                          The sync is not instant, but it works eventually: perfect while I'm transitioning to UT!

                            DeltaTouch might be more private, and just as easy.

                              @GooglyBear JotIt Notes on the OpenStore can sync with Nextcloud Notes.
