Hello Nextcloud fans!
Would you help us build great self hosted apps that cover all your day to day needs?
We shared a survey a few weeks ago along with the Nextcloud Deck 1.0 release announcement to collect your thoughts on Deck and better understand your needs.
Our survey about Deck turned out to be a very good way to listen to the users and we’re taking the ‘most popular’ feature-wishes into consideration for the next set of improvements! Now we’d like to ask again for your honest feedback, this time on Nextcloud Social and Nextcloud Forms.
What’s coming next in Nextcloud? You tell us 😉
If you want your feature-needs regarding any of these apps to be considered for the upcoming releases all you have to do is take the surveys below and tick the boxes that match your thoughts 🙂
Forms
Social
Deck
A forms app, to de-Google and self-host your forms with the possibility to restrict access (members, certain groups/users, and public).
Nextcloud is part of the federated social networks!
And if you haven’t answered about Deck yet, you can still do that!
Deck is a kanban style organization tool aimed at personal planning and project organization for teams integrated with Nextcloud.
As you might have noticed, the Nextcloud team is working hard to improve the Nextcloud appstore and make users happy by improving the store itself, by encouraging the development of new apps or integrations that would cover more needs and by continuously bettering existing apps. Our awesome community of contributors, users and YOU are key to achieve all these!
Your help is very much appreciated and we are super excited to see that more people everyday want to help us make Nextcloud better in any way they can. THANKS!
What can you do for Nextcloud?

If you are interested in developing your own brand new app, you can always get help through all the information available on our developer page, and also our developer program might sound interesting to you.

If you are a super happy Nextcloud user and want to help us spread the word about Nextcloud or you want to inspire other people to liberate their data, you can always write a review about Nextcloud in one of the following platforms. What’s the best thing about Nextcloud so far?
Within this big and diverse (and open) user-base you will find quite some people who will say that what this is about is to get out of “target a market”-concepts.
Others will tell you the market is the folks that want to have the freedom to use general computing hardware to … compute whatever they want (freedom). Regarding that, iOs is just not a very attractive platform
Of course the simple answer is “because nobody created one”. And why that? Because nobody was paid to do so? Or because the original developers just “lacked” the skill or the hardware (I for example could most likely hack together an iOs app, but I just never used an iPhone and also have no incentives to get one, learn about it and all that)? Or is it because the pipeline/workflow to use “free” (as in freedom) Software to build “free” Apps is simply more convenient for development for Android?
I go a bit with DHH/basecamps view, that the solid base should be the webapp with sprinkles for the “native” implementations. Seems to save a lot of pain.
