Hi!

I have been doing this whole self-hosted thing for about two years now, and have managed to move almost everything I do to my own two servers with offsite backups. I owe a lot to this subreddit.

Anyway, my wife and I have been using Google keep to share simple text notes and - more importantly - for grocery lists. I don’t care about formatting. I just want a grocery list that behaves like keep: making a list item is as simple as typing enter, and checking a list moves it to the bottom.

I spent some time looking, but found nothing. Either the checkbox-list creation is cumbersome (add idem, type name, click commit. Or a markdown solution that’s just clunky compared to type -enter - type - enter) or the syncing is so bad that collaborqtive editing doesn’t work.

I know I am being very specific, but it is mostly because my wife won’t go from one app that works to our satisfaction to one or two apps where things take more time.

Best regards Linus
