   You may know @nextcloud offers a free open storage system, but did you know it also has its own app ecosystem?

   There are lots of extra apps you can add to your Nextcloud:

   https://apps.nextcloud.com/

   (Includes collaborative document editing, music streaming, video calling, calendar syncing, note taking, XMPP chat and lots more)

     Which option you choose depends on how technical you are 👍

     Easiest is just sign up with a third party provider, there's a signup tool here:
     https://nextcloud.com/signup/

     (Note, this tool signs people up with a pool of third parties, it isn't signing people up on Nextcloud.com itself.)

     Harder but slightly more independent is using a managed hosting provider:
     https://nextcloud.com/providers/

     Hardest but most independent is installing Nextcloud on your own server:

     Thanks for the info.

     About the XMPP thing, why does it say "xmpp server backend" on it if it's just a client?

     I'm not an expert on hosting things, but I think it's possible to install Nextcloud on shared hosting.

     And you can install @Carnet on Nextcloud (and your phone) to replace Google Keep.

     Also, you can use Nextcloud without hosting it, there are third party providers who let people sign up for individual accounts:
     https://nextcloud.com/signup/

     And managed hosting providers make hosting a bit easier:

     @vampirdaddy @dionys_rbe @nextcloud

     What does the "server backend" phrase refer to then?
