Synchronize with Nextcloud Notes #2

Open stefan-niedermann opened 4 years ago

stefan-niedermann commented 4 years ago

This is a feature request to be able to synchronize the Notes with Nextcloud Notes (see API documentation). The feature set seems to be pretty similar. 🙂

Having never looked at the Nextcloud code (or even used it), I can't say for certain, but I suspect that it would be possible. The documentation indicates that the notes are stored as markdown. If that's the case, it shouldn't be too much work to translate from the sticky notes internal markup, though markdown is notorious for having conflicting syntax depending on implementation, and there will likely be at least some mismatch of features, which could potentially lead to problems. In short, this is probably something that could be done, but may take significant effort to implement. But, if there's enough interest in it, I would certainly be willing to look into this more.

Well, I came across quicknotes which is using rich text, colorful notes, attachments in the Nextcloud, it would be great if sticky can sync its notes with quicknotes in the Nextcloud, there is a good tool called Notes, formerly "Bijiben" in the repo which can sync notes and moreover those notes are easily available from the evolution groupware under memos.
