Shopping list software
Shopping list software
Hi. Does anyone have any recommendations for FOSS shopping list software for android, which has a "sync" feature so that it can be used by the whole family?
I currently rely on workflowy, and - while it works great - I'd really rather use something that was open source. Thanks in advance.
You're viewing a single thread.
Assuming you mean a general note-taking app rather than something specific to shopping lists, perhaps this would fit the bill?
I haven't tried it yet myself, but I've been looking to move away from Notion and this looks interesting. It's billed as open source but I came across this on their alternativeto.net page: "Notice: the backend code will be open-sourced as soon as we’re sure that the backend service meets the security standards."
I'm not sure if that's still relevant or not, but am posting it FYI.
Joplin is open source, has todo lists and syncs with any plain webDAV server, or stuff that provides webDAV, like NextCloud.

Thanks, fixed it! I'm usually pretty good at Internet...
Thanks Joplin came up on my radar a while back but I had never considered it for this task. With a webdav sync option built in, it might better handle the concurrent granular node/block changes that I hope for, than the file-at-once style of sync that syncthing currently gives me.
It's worth noting that there are two ways to use Joplin for to-dos: you can embed a complete list within a note, or make a bunch of 'todo-able' notes in a folder that can be individually checked off as completed from the note list itself. I'd usually say the advantage to using separate notes is that each note can have its own content within the body of the note, but with your use case of shared list syncing between people you're also less likely to end up with conflicts if people aren't editing one large note, since Joplin isn't a platform that sends all the connected clients updates in real-time.
Thanks. I have actually been using logseq for journals and notes, and syncing has been great even with syncthing between my phone and my computers. I just notice enough lag on the sync that I don't know whether it'll be as "realtime multiplayer" as workflowy seems to be. With workflowy I can be ticking off completed items while someone else at home is adding things to another part of the list and it just works, which is annoying because as mentioned, I would really rather not use closed source stuff.
I will set up a shared logseq graph though and do some testing. Thanks 👍
