I installed nextcloud at first because I was looking for a basic forms app. Not something very complex, just needed something simple. The best I found was Nextcloud Forms. So I ended up driving a nail not with a hammer, but a battering ram. But I knew that I might find other uses later.
Since then, I've discovered and used many apps.
How are you liking the tasks app? I haven't used it much but I was trying the Deck app for a while as a Trello replacement but found it too basic. I was wondering if the regular tasks app was missing any useful features too.
I actually started with deck and then moved to tasks because I likes the simplicity of a binary "done/not done" as apposed to moving cards across boards (which I used todo/doing/done). Theres a couple features that I use on a given task, like dates, descriptions, and subtasks, but thats it. I suspect that if deck was insufficient for you, thats tasks isnt the right solution either.
I was looking at tasks.org and it seems pretty nice. I think I have two types of tasks usually. Some are more project oriented and fit better with a trello style kanban board, but I also have simpler ones like grocery lists, bill reminders, etc. I use remember the milk for that currently, but I'll probably try switching.
I was also looking at etesync recently for caldav/cardav but I kind of like the idea of it being integrated into nextcloud better.
Youve reminded me that deck and tasks actually integrate with one another. If you have a deck card assigned to you, it shows up in a special feed in tasks as well. I think its a little clunky but might be a feature of interest. I just opted for all tasks, since my nextcloud is single user.
