How do you capture things quickly across devices in a self-hosted setup? (lemmy.world)

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.

That looks cool! And… I think we can extend it to iOS and android apps. The benefit being drag and drop simplicity and sharing sheet access, instead of shortcuts, which have always felt wonky to me.

I’ll play with it first. Thanks for the link!

    Yeah I get what you mean 🙂

    Shortcuts work (that’s what I’m using on iOS right now), but they can feel a bit “indirect” compared to something more native like share sheets or drag & drop.

    Curious to hear how it feels once you try it — especially what feels frictionless vs what doesn’t.

    Small update: DropMind just showed up in today’s selfh.st newsletter under development activity.

    Feels like the idea is slowly starting to resonate — curious to see how people end up using it in their own setups.

    Just pushed a small update based on real usage feedback.

    Fixed a couple of issues (attachments cleanup + clipboard counts) and improved the Apple Shortcut for multiple items.

    Still keeping things simple and focused on fast capture.
