These are my current opinions on the state of apps in nextcloud

Would love to see

  1. A Wiki - I’m currently using simplesamlphp to sorta use dokuwiki in Nextcloud with External sites but it’s still not 100%.
  2. Timesheets - A very simple timesheets app would be amazing. Something simple like:

  1. Wallabag - Ages ago there was talk about some collaboration between nextcloud and wallabag. I would love to see a wallabag app one day.
  2. A matrix front end - It would be great to have a Slack alternative built into nextcloud, and seeing as matrix looks like it will replace xmpp in the long run that would be the direction to build in.
  3. SSO - I don’t know if this is ideal but it would be nice to use nextcloud as and SSO server, think simplesamlphp built into nextcloud. That way you could bootstrap many projects into nextcloud with relative ease, especially if you use LDAP as the authentication backend on nextcloud.

Exists but Needs further love and care

  • Mail - The current nextcloud mail app is still far away from being usable as a daily driver. Thankfully there is still a fair amount of work being done so fingers crossed.
  • News - The nextcloud news app feels unfinished and unloved, specifically the Android app just isn’t comfortable to use. I ended up switching back to Tiny Tiny RSS even if I don’t have an auto login working yet mainly because it’s more feature rich and the android app is light years ahead of the nextcloud news app.
  • Notes - It’s markup, but it’s not at the same time. The way the notes app sorta allows formatting but doesn’t is confusing and annoying, I just switched to .md files and the markdown editor app. Ideally it would open in preview mode and then you could switch to editor but it’s still a nicer experience than the notes app as it renders properly and has folders.
  • PicoCMS - I haven’t managed to get it working yet I encountered the same bug as described here
