I’d like to know what is the roadmap of Murena for a notes app. I think the next version of Nextcloud is coming up. Perfect time to decide what to do with QuickNote/Carnet! I use the default ‘Notes’ app preinstalled in /e/ and although very basic, I like it because it’s pre-configured, it can be accessed through ecloud and the notes are available as text files in ecloud’s Files folder, which I like because Text files are a universal format that I will always be able to open and backup (in comparison with the .sqd files of QuickNote/Carnet). I have no experience with QuickNotes and read different things on the forum about it. @heartshapedbox raises the point of potential security issues with storing plain text files. @huuhaa loves QuickNotes/Carnet. @Manoj says here above that user experience is not good and indeed @zelandonii writes that he managed to sync his notes only through the Nextcloud app that he had to install additionally.
I think all this needs the /e/ team to make a statement and maybe take action in the one or the other direction. Murena has the big advantage over other ROMs that it has a cloud service (Nextcloud is awesome!) with apps and that makes things easy for the user, and Notes is one of the apps that need the cloud.
