Good job. A bit too clunky on Windows for me (e.g., setting an alarm for a task), but I like the concept and the multi-environmental access aspect.

I've recently started using TickTick (https://ticktick.com) and been pretty happy with it, thought not accessible from a terminal.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Fastmail enables you to use their service to sync your Notes from OSX& iOS. i think with CalDAV.

I just tried it. No CalDAV, just plain IMAP... and only if you don't use the "iCloud upgraded notes", meaning that you cannot format the text.

you're right... IMAP only for Email & Notes[0].

CalDAV for Calendars, Reminders. CardDAV for Contacts.

I am able to use (basic) formatted text, but not the upgraded notes.

I've really enjoyed fastmail for the 1.5 years that I've used it.

For the record, Fastmail supports Mail, Calendar, & Contacts very well. And because Mail is doing the analysis of your messages, Calendar automatically inserts dates from events, flights, and such.

May I suggest QOwnNotes as an alternative to this? It's also cross-platform (not sure about mobile) and it's not another shitty electron app.

To counter this a bit, I would rather run an Electron app than be greeted with this as the default interface: http://www.qownnotes.org/var/bekerle/storage/images/_aliases... I'll take an app that uses a bit more resources over something that looks like an IDE instead of a note-taking app any day. Currently using Inkdrop[0], which is not open source (but subscription based) and has a rather basic Android client, but i…

The default interface of QOwnNotes has pretty much everything turned off in it's "minimal" workspace (that is used by default).

I like the idea of an app with integrated notes and todos, and love that its open source, but this is really lacking in the todo department. No drag-and-drop reordering and no deadlines/grouping by date makes it pretty useless for anything approaching a decent workflow. I've tried pretty much everything and still haven't found anything with the features/ease-of-use/good design of Wunderlist (which is still lacking in…

I used https://ticktick.com/ for quite some time and then moved to Memorigi - https://tinbits.io/ (Android only). I have tried wunderlist, todoist and some others but nothing clicked except these two. Recurring tasks are what I use todo apps most for and these two supported it best

This looks great. I hope you might prioritize adding a web clipper. For me, the Evernote Web Clipper plugin/extension is the killer app. The rest of Evernote isn't great, but their web clipper is incredibly useful to me.

My Evernote file is over 20GB, thanks to Web Clipper. I've saved everything from recipe to interesting articles, dating back almost 10 years ago. For me, it is cool to be able to save web pages without worrying that the page / link will disappear in the future. The only other alternative is DevonThink, which is pricey, but well worth its cost.

Firefox with Pocket does that as well, without requiring additional software. Since my Kobo E-reader has support for Pocket I can even read the articles there. Firefox Reader is great for readability as well.

This is very close to ideal for me. I've been moving away from Google Keep (and google in general recently, using Fastmail, microg fork of LineageOS on Fairphone 2, orgzly, vim org-mode Nextcloud etc etc) and the one thing that I missed was easily been able to dump photos and images into notes. I've had a play with this briefly and I will be using it full time. As soon as it offers nextcloud sync it really ticks all…

How stable and usable is LineageOS on Fairphone 2? I also have one and am intrigued to try it.

Sorry for the late reply. I have found it very good. The first build or two rebooted a couple of times a day but the recent builds are rock solid. I've stopped updating it now regularly but when I do the builds just work. I normally stop by the fairphone forums before I stick a new build on just to see if there's any chatter.

I much prefer lineage to any other android experience I've ever had fwiw. Everything just works (except I haven't figured out how to nor really care to spend much time investigating snapchat with lineage).
