From IndieWeb


Nextcloud is an open source software project for self-hosted personal web services including a file manager (an indie version of Dropbox), music, calendar (CalDAV), contacts (CardDAV), and more. It was forked from ownCloud in early June 2016.

Applications

Nextcloud functionality can be added through applications.

Nextcloud News

Nextcloud News provides an RSS aggregator and feed reader. It offers a RESTful API for app developers, so the end user can sync their read/unread articles across multiple devices using compatible desktop and mobile apps. Available in the Nextcloud App Store.

  • Might be worth looking into adding mf2 h-feed support to Nextcloud News β€” assess how much work would it take, would the maintainers support it etc. β€”Image Barnaby Walters

Nextcloud Tasks

Nextcloud Tasks provides task tracking and management, and syncs with popular desktop and mobile task management applications like 2Do.
