I’ve been struggling with something that sounds simple but is surprisingly annoying:

capturing content quickly across devices in a self-hosted environment.

On Android there’s share, on iOS shortcuts, on desktop copy/paste… but everything feels fragmented.

I often end up losing things or postponing them just because capturing isn’t frictionless.

Curious how others handle this.

Lowest common denominator: Plaintext / Markdown files?

They'll work with Logseq, web browsers, notepad, your phone... and maybe sync it all via syncthing?

That's what I use.

I also write up my system notes in Logseq with the intention that I'll just sync in my ansible files too... one day...

This, in combination with 'copyparty' as a Docker container with a volume mapping to my files. Edit locally, and edit from anywhere.
