Comment on How do you capture things quickly across devices in a self-hosted setup?
oldany@lemmy.world 18 hours agoYeah KDE Connect is great for device-to-device flow, I’ve used it too.
What I always found tricky is that it works really well once you’re already “in the flow”, but not so much as a quick capture entry point.
Like, it helps moving things around — but not necessarily deciding to capture something instantly in the first place.
That’s where I always felt something was missing.

What exactly do you mean by “capture”?
oldany@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Good question — I don’t mean organizing or saving things long-term.
I mean that moment when you see or think something and don’t want to lose it.
Like:
The problem for me is that if capturing that takes more than a second, I often just don’t do it — or I postpone it and forget.
So “capture” is really just that instant: taking something from wherever you are and storing it somewhere with zero friction.

For this I just send a message to myself on Signal (or sometimes WhatsApp). I know, it’s not a perfect solution, but for these simple things it’s good enough and pretty much content agnostic.

Yeah I used that too for a while — it works surprisingly well, but I always felt it’s more of a workaround than something designed for capturing.

You probably want linkwarden: github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden
I’m not sure if it handles non-link content like a random thought. Maybe a note-taking app for that; plenty of previous discussions on those if you search.
