Sharing between Users

[Cebrain]

Hi,
i found the app recently and it looks great.
Only one feature would be great, to share a Note with another user, for example a shopping list between 2 users.

Is there already any feature like this or is one planned?

You can share the backing document in Nextcloud, and the other person just needs to put the shared document in their Carnet folder. However, only one person can have the file open at any given time, otherwise they don't sync properly, in my experience. I also use Carnet to share a shopping list.

It looks like something broke recently. Seems storing the files as .sqd (zip files), updating the file breaks the share between users. I haven't yet found if it's a Carnet problem or a nextcloud problem.

Was really hoping to replace Google Keep with Carnet and this is the feature I need to do that. I'm not sure what a good test would be, but I don't have the same issue with the Notes app on NC30

I believe the issue is with how the current version is handling its zip files. It looks like it creates a new one when updating the content, causing the share to be "lost". The current dev version is using folders instead of a zip file which seems to avoid the issue all together. The dev version seems to have some odd issues with caching data and not refreshing the web display unless you refresh the page or select browser, but overall it works from what I can tell.

@PhieF do you have a set of milestones or issues that you are looking to finish before doing a release of the folder structure changes? Anything that I could work on to help get it out? If the new structure isn't ready maybe we could feature flag it in settings?
