Is there anywhere that gives a bit more detail about this app? The store page is quite limited in detail, and the one-sentence summary doesnāt really tell me why it was created.
What does āorganize togetherā mean? Is this a to-do list, a OneNote type of application, or just a notes app ā what makes it unique?
which information would you expect from the description in app store? Thereās also a user documentation linked from the app store: Nextcloud Collectives

Collectives is mainly meant for groups to work on documents collaboratively and organize their knowledge collectively. This can be any kind or communities, interest groups or work teams. But Collectives might also be useful for single-user usage - when you want to organize your personal knowledge database.
I guess I was hoping for some specifics of what the app does rather than general statements.
For example:
Collectives is a Nextcloud App for activist and community projects to organize together. Come and gather in collectives to build shared knowledge.
āOrganize togetherā can be done in various ways - shared task lists, calendar software, meetings (virtual or in person), kanbans, etc - so āorganizingā is a great goal but doesnāt tell me how this app will help do it. Also ā¦ if I have a small company would it work for that too or do you think only collectives and activists would benefit from this?
Collective and non-hierarchical workflow by heart: Collectives are tied to a Nextcloud Circle and owned by the collective.
What is ānon-hierarchical workflow by heartā? I think perhaps Iām missing something important but I just donāt know what this is saying. To me, āby heartā usually refers to memorizing things (similar to saying, āby roteā) but perhaps others read that differently.
I think this is meant to be either a collaborative word processor or note-taking app that lets multiple people edit pages at the same time. Iām not clear if the āpagesā can be sorted into folders or workbooks, flagged or ranked by priority or date or colour labels, if I can drop in photos or if the pages are only markup text with links, does it send notifications if pages I worked on before have been edited ā¦ things like that.
So thatās what I mean - there isnāt much detail about the features and almost nothing about how it works. I donāt know if I should install it or if it isnāt for me just based on the description.
