Thanks for the suggestions :)

I did have a look at Hedgedoc, but I thought it was for making online content, rather than private. I've probably got it wrong though :)

It's one of the problems I find with some open source projects, they assume that you know what the project does. They don't expect clueless people like me :D

I'll have a look at Cryptpad, thanks :)

!anytype would fit the bill nicely. But it's important to keep in mind that it is still in heavy development.

That being said, it costs nothing to give it a try, it's practically seamless to get started with. :)

what instances of joplin are available,within fediverse?

Thanks for the reply :)

I didn't know that OneNote could share. That might be ok for at home. I'll have a look at Anylist too. Ideally though, I want to try to go with open source software.

I'll have a look for the discussion now, thanks :)

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been away :)

That looks interesting, thanks :)

Thanks for replying :)

I'll look into Nextcloud, thanks :)

I want to avoid using something like Syncthing. It would be great for me and my wife, where I can get my hands on the devices, but for the festival, I need to keep things as simple as possible. Some of the users can barely use computers and phones.

Thanks for replying :)

It doesn't have to be real time, but it would make things a lot easier. We're both trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, and we tend to forget things until something reminds us, so if we get a reminder about a note, we'd both be likely to act on the reminder immediately so that we don't forget again. (It's a fun situation >.< ).

My current system gets around real-time collaboration needs by using 3 obsidian notes in a shared obsidian vault.

Again, with the probable ADHD, that sort of workflow would never work for us. I can understand why you want to get away from it.

Someone else mentioned Hedgedoc, so I'm having another look at it. I mistook it for an online document tool, so I definitely need to read through the site again.

For the festival, I'm mostly thinking of things behind the scenes, like if I need someone to write up some text for the website, I could add it to a note or todo list, and they could see it there, rather than me waiting to send a message in the morning, and them sending one back when they think it's a reasonable time.

That way my partner can edit their list and I can see what they're editing while doing the same on mine, thus avoiding collisions.

Even though you say you want to ditch this system, this is really as clever and thoughtful as it is creative and incredibly determined (in terms of sticking to FOSS to achieve this). You're inspiring!

Cryptpad does look good, thanks. I haven't had the time to look into it properly yet, but I'm planning on going through all the suggestions again over the next few days :)

Thanks for the suggestions :)

I had a look at the livesync, but they mention the server now charging, and they're looking at other options, but I'm too tired to make sense of it now, I'll have to look again in the morning.

I've temporarily set up Google Keep, just to keep the holiday on track while I figure the rest out. Frustratingly, it was stupidly easy to set up. I just entered the note, selected the collaborator option, and entered my wife's email address.

I understand why the open source solutions aren't that straightforward, but it's annoying to see how easy it could be if money wasn't an issue.

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been away :)

I want to avoid Syncthing, as a few of the people on the festival committee are not great with technology. I would have to set it up for them, and fix any problems that come up.
