[Feature] WebDav sync for Notes

[adam-kulagowski]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Several services (such as infomaniak) do not support VJOURNAL sync in their calendar. Even when they do (NextCloud/OwnCloud), there is no support in Web UI on PC for note editing. However most of those services provides WebDav sync and also allows to edit/create Markdown files. So having the possibility to sync Notes as *.md files to remote drive via WebDav would solve all those issues.

Moreover the DAV5x already supports WebDav in form of local directory, so all that would be required is to let JTX Board to store notes/journals entries in Markdown format on dedicated directory on Android device.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either syncing Notes/Journal (TODO?) via DAV5x or natively. Having TODO events in third party Android Calendar widget (which would be accessible via CalDav, as its being done today) and notes that can be edited in PC browser (via WebDav) would be ideal solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are few solutions (Quillpad, Simple Notes Sync) that provides WebDav sync but those solution lacks VTODO calendar integration and are less advanced than JTX Board.

Additional context
Nothing comes to my mind.

Your current device and version

• Device: Google Pixel 8 pro

Hi @adam-kulagowski ,

you're addressing multiple feature requests here. But basically the idea of jtx Board was to support the VJOURNAL and VTODO component of the iCalendar standard as comprehensive as possible.
Switching to a completely unstructured format (meaning .md files) would contradict this idea as no additional information can be stored in a structured way.
Being able to edit VJournal Notes in the browser would be nice, but this is an Android project. And again, WebDAV through files would be the wrong way if the structured iCalendar format should be maintained. CalDAV would be the way to go.

As you say:

There are few solutions (Quillpad, Simple Notes Sync) that provides WebDav sync but those solution lacks VTODO calendar integration and are less advanced than JTX Board.

other solutions are less advanced regarding additional data because they are not structured. We can leave this open for discussion, but as an enhancement I don't see how the app could go in this direction.
