I write notes in vi or nano in the terminal and use Syncthing between my phone and Xubuntu.
If I'm feeling the need for something more fancy, I use Libreoffice writer as a snap with an external bluetooth keyboard and sync the resulting file through Syncthing.
If it's just to send a link or something I use Teleports/Cinny to send it to myself.

@Opolork I used to use the Notes native UB app and sync it to Evernote, which I accessed through the web in my laptop or desktop devices. But I got tired of Evernote teasing me to subscribe all the time, and I'm not sure if Notes is still working in UB to sync with Evernote.
Nowadays I use the native UB app Jotit and sync with my Nextcloud Notes server. This part is easy, setting up a Nextcloud server is not.

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

@wgarcia said in 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?:
This part is easy, setting up a Nextcloud server is not.
Hi @wgarcia Alas, that's a dealbreaker.
-
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.
-
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.

@Opolork
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.
