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.

Files lets me easily share documents with others with a link.
I started storing recipes in Cookbook, instead of links in a file.
I started storing bookmarks across all my devices in Bookmarks and floccus.
I got into podcasts by subscribing to RSS feeds with News.
I started doing my todo lists digitally with Tasks. This one in particular has very much changed my daytoday along with the android app tasks from tasks.org.

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.
