Recommended Desktop Apps

[chjohn22]

If I read the wiki on Gitlab correctly, Nextcloud is only able to sync journals, but not to display them on the webinterface.
Are there recommended desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows to use in combination with Nextcloud as a server and JTX on Android? For me JTX is only useful if I can work with all these tools in combination with desktop- or webapps.

VJournal is used for Journals and Notes jtx board. For tasks it uses VTodo. For VTodo Nextcloud provides the Tasks app, which should work flawlessly. On Windows there is the emclient - it has a very basic version of VJournal - But I'm not sure how correctly this is implemented there. On Linux there is KOrganizer as a desktop app - it should basically also work. I agree that a VJournal backend in Nextcloud or with other servers would be truly awesome!

Nextcloud is not the only server that can save VJournal entries. We've collected more - maybe @patrickunterwegs can add some information here :)

Did you try Gnome Evolution? As far as I remember, it uses VJOURNAL for Notes. But I have switched to only use tasks instead because other clients can deal with that.

I'm confirming Gnome Evolution correctly syncs with jtx Board, from what I can see, apart from attachments (as the warning in jtx says).

Thanks @tcitworld fo rthe feedback!
I will also have a closer look at the attachment handling of Gnome's Evolution to see if the handling there is basically compatible.

The small ones encoded as base64 work properly!

Ah, great, that's nice to hear :)

For reference: I've created a proposal to make a GUI for VJournal for Nextcloud: nextcloud/tasks#1955

vdirsyncer -- can download VJOURNAL entries as ics files, but there is no app which i know, which is able to parse it…
