announcements they uh brought up a lot announcements they uh brought up a lot announcements they uh brought up a lot of their new AI Integrations it has a of their new AI Integrations it has a of their new AI Integrations it has a bunch of the now typical things you'd bunch of the now typical things you'd bunch of the now typical things you'd expect in something like that such as a expect in something like that such as a expect in something like that such as a chatbot translations actually I can kind chatbot translations actually I can kind chatbot translations actually I can kind of show you real quick this is nexcloud of show you real quick this is nexcloud of show you real quick this is nexcloud and it's actually Hub n I'll get into and it's actually Hub n I'll get into and it's actually Hub n I'll get into that but if you click right here this is that but if you click right here this is that but if you click right here this is the nextcloud assistant you can use it the nextcloud assistant you can use it the nextcloud assistant you can use it to gener generate text chat with AI to gener generate text chat with AI to gener generate text chat with AI transcribe audio reformulate text

transcribe audio reformulate text transcribe audio reformulate text generate a bunch of different kind of AI generate a bunch of different kind of AI generate a bunch of different kind of AI stuff so that's included and you do need stuff so that's included and you do need stuff so that's included and you do need to set it up either with a third party to set it up either with a third party to set it up either with a third party service or with your very own service or with your very own service or with your very own self-hosted AI but overall it's a self-hosted AI but overall it's a self-hosted AI but overall it's a fantastic thing and it's one of the many fantastic thing and it's one of the many fantastic thing and it's one of the many tools that you can use to get away from tools that you can use to get away from tools that you can use to get away from some of those proprietary services and some of those proprietary services and some of those proprietary services and just the whole software as a service just the whole software as a service just the whole software as a service model so with that brief introduction model so with that brief introduction model so with that brief introduction we're going to talk about what they we're going to talk about what they we're going to talk about what they announced in Hub n and it is quite a bit announced in Hub n and it is quite a bit announced in Hub n and it is quite a bit so first and the most obvious thing when so first and the most obvious thing when so first and the most obvious thing when you first sign in there are some slight you first sign in there are some slight you first sign in there are some slight visual improvements they mostly went visual improvements they mostly went visual improvements they mostly went ahead and made things more compact easy ahead and made things more compact easy ahead and made things more compact easy to follow buttons and input Fields have to follow buttons and input Fields have to follow buttons and input Fields have been downsized just overall the there's been downsized just overall the there's been downsized just overall the there's a much better utilization of the space a much better utilization of the space a much better utilization of the space that we see here and one thing you'll that we see here and one thing you'll that we see here and one thing you'll notice is right here there is now all notice is right here there is now all notice is right here there is now all folders and we have a whole file tree folders and we have a whole file tree folders and we have a whole file tree that we can use to easily navigate that we can use to easily navigate that we can use to easily navigate various directories within our next various directories within our next various directories within our next Cloud instance so I can easily jump to Cloud instance so I can easily jump to Cloud instance so I can easily jump to like this computex folder or maybe this like this computex folder or maybe this like this computex folder or maybe this cases folder which has a variety of cases folder which has a variety of cases folder which has a variety of videos in here makes it really nice and videos in here makes it really nice and videos in here makes it really nice and there there's a bunch of speed there there's a bunch of speed there there's a bunch of speed improvements too you could see how improvements too you could see how improvements too you could see how quickly I could jump between things and quickly I could jump between things and quickly I could jump between things and they really did a lot to improve the they really did a lot to improve the they really did a lot to improve the speed and performance in this as well speed and performance in this as well speed and performance in this as well and I will uh leave a link down below to and I will uh leave a link down below to and I will uh leave a link down below to their full kind of release notes and their full kind of release notes and their full kind of release notes and blog post so you could get some real blog post so you could get some real blog post so you could get some real in-depth details on that if you're in-depth details on that if you're in-depth details on that if you're interested but another thing is if I go interested but another thing is if I go interested but another thing is if I go over to our dashboard here this is the over to our dashboard here this is the over to our dashboard here this is the default look one there's a new default look one there's a new default look one there's a new background they haven't done that in a background they haven't done that in a background they haven't done that in a while this is actually a dynamic while this is actually a dynamic while this is actually a dynamic background and what that means is when background and what that means is when background and what that means is when you upload your very own backgrounds the you upload your very own backgrounds the you upload your very own backgrounds the actual UI and interface of nexcloud will actual UI and interface of nexcloud will actual UI and interface of nexcloud will match the color scheme of the background

match the color scheme of the background match the color scheme of the background so it's going to look great depending or so it's going to look great depending or so it's going to look great depending or no matter really what background you go no matter really what background you go no matter really what background you go ahead and add to the software I'm going ahead and add to the software I'm going ahead and add to the software I'm going to go ahead and add a background real to go ahead and add a background real to go ahead and add a background real quick just this random stock photo I quick just this random stock photo I quick just this random stock photo I found let's open that up and there we go found let's open that up and there we go found let's open that up and there we go we can see it changed the background we can see it changed the background we can see it changed the background color automatically we can see it color automatically we can see it color automatically we can see it bleeding through here and just overall bleeding through here and just overall bleeding through here and just overall no matter what I set this to things look no matter what I set this to things look no matter what I set this to things look great now one thing they added which is great now one thing they added which is great now one thing they added which is big is called whiteboard here there's big is called whiteboard here there's big is called whiteboard here there's not much settings going going on at the not much settings going going on at the not much settings going going on at the moment but if I quickly head over to the moment but if I quickly head over to the moment but if I quickly head over to the actual allinone instance this is how you actual allinone instance this is how you actual allinone instance this is how you go ahead and enable it now I did have to go ahead and enable it now I did have to go ahead and enable it now I did have to switch to the beta Channel at the moment switch to the beta Channel at the moment switch to the beta Channel at the moment to get this they're still working on the to get this they're still working on the to get this they're still working on the master container allinone updating it to master container allinone updating it to master container allinone updating it to the new NEX Cloud Hub but all you do the new NEX Cloud Hub but all you do the new NEX Cloud Hub but all you do just like some of these other add-ons is just like some of these other add-ons is just like some of these other add-ons is you enable whiteboard right here and it you enable whiteboard right here and it you enable whiteboard right here and it will automatically put it in and set up will automatically put it in and set up will automatically put it in and set up everything for you which is great everything for you which is great everything for you which is great whiteboard is a new collaborative tool whiteboard is a new collaborative tool whiteboard is a new collaborative tool similar to something like Microsoft similar to something like Microsoft similar to something like Microsoft whiteboard where it gives you a blank whiteboard where it gives you a blank whiteboard where it gives you a blank canvas this to develop things like uh canvas this to develop things like uh canvas this to develop things like uh forms diagrams road maps I would use it forms diagrams road maps I would use it forms diagrams road maps I would use it to build like my networking map for my to build like my networking map for my to build like my networking map for my whole home system and then here we could whole home system and then here we could whole home system and then here we could go to new new whiteboard call it go to new new whiteboard call it go to new new whiteboard call it whatever you want I'm just going to hit whatever you want I'm just going to hit whatever you want I'm just going to hit create and again this is collaborative create and again this is collaborative create and again this is collaborative so you could have multiple people so you could have multiple people so you could have multiple people working on this at the same time and has working on this at the same time and has working on this at the same time and has all the features you'd expect if I go all the features you'd expect if I go all the features you'd expect if I go over here for example we could go to a over here for example we could go to a over here for example we could go to a new shape let's add this one draw it out new shape let's add this one draw it out new shape let's add this one draw it out we can add a background to it double we can add a background to it double we can add a background to it double click on it add some text so I can go click on it add some text so I can go click on it add some text so I can go like that move it around and build like that move it around and build like that move it around and build really exactly what I need you can add really exactly what I need you can add really exactly what I need you can add images whole bunch of different things I images whole bunch of different things I images whole bunch of different things I could go to the laser pointer tool which

could go to the laser pointer tool which could go to the laser pointer tool which is pretty cool it will help you out in is pretty cool it will help you out in is pretty cool it will help you out in presentations and things like that so presentations and things like that so presentations and things like that so that is whiteboard I'm really looking that is whiteboard I'm really looking that is whiteboard I'm really looking forward to using that and actually forward to using that and actually forward to using that and actually building out my network map with it it's building out my network map with it it's building out my network map with it it's going to be fun now the next big going to be fun now the next big going to be fun now the next big announcement and it's a slightly above announcement and it's a slightly above announcement and it's a slightly above my skill set so I'm not going to my skill set so I'm not going to my skill set so I'm not going to actually open it up in here but that is actually open it up in here but that is actually open it up in here but that is next Cloud flow this is an automation next Cloud flow this is an automation next Cloud flow this is an automation tool based on Windmill an open-source tool based on Windmill an open-source tool based on Windmill an open-source developer platform that you can use to developer platform that you can use to developer platform that you can use to turn scripts into workflows and uis flow turn scripts into workflows and uis flow turn scripts into workflows and uis flow in nexcloud will help automate in nexcloud will help automate in nexcloud will help automate repetitive tasks in nexcloud and some of repetitive tasks in nexcloud and some of repetitive tasks in nexcloud and some of their integrated applications with a their integrated applications with a their integrated applications with a graphical interface to design manage and graphical interface to design manage and graphical interface to design manage and monitor workflows so let me show you how monitor workflows so let me show you how monitor workflows so let me show you how this looks um this is just an example this looks um this is just an example this looks um this is just an example it's usually always starts with some it's usually always starts with some it's usually always starts with some kind of event something comes in again kind of event something comes in again kind of event something comes in again someone wants to have I don't know apply someone wants to have I don't know apply someone wants to have I don't know apply for a new passport or something and then for a new passport or something and then for a new passport or something and then some kind of process is going through some kind of process is going through some kind of process is going through something happens and then something is something happens and then something is something happens and then something is maybe called um stored in excl tables maybe called um stored in excl tables maybe called um stored in excl tables and then approved later so it's quite a and then approved later so it's quite a and then approved later so it's quite a standard flow chart basically that you standard flow chart basically that you standard flow chart basically that you can model here in a graphical way and of can model here in a graphical way and of can model here in a graphical way and of course the back end of all these actions course the back end of all these actions course the back end of all these actions are all the nextcloud functionalities are all the nextcloud functionalities are all the nextcloud functionalities you already know and use every day for you already know and use every day for you already know and use every day for example nextcloud mail obviously example nextcloud mail obviously example nextcloud mail obviously nextcloud mail is very good with nextcloud mail is very good with nextcloud mail is very good with receiving sending emails and managing receiving sending emails and managing receiving sending emails and managing emails so we build an API that is all emails so we build an API that is all emails so we build an API that is all can be automated and scriptable so we can be automated and scriptable so we can be automated and scriptable so we can receive mails you can pass mails you can receive mails you can pass mails you can receive mails you can pass mails you can check the signatures you can can check the signatures you can can check the signatures you can generate a mail response and so on so generate a mail response and so on so generate a mail response and so on so this and all can be very automated and this and all can be very automated and this and all can be very automated and very easy another example is forms so very easy another example is forms so very easy another example is forms so next L forms is an application where you

next L forms is an application where you next L forms is an application where you can build all kinds of forms and you can can build all kinds of forms and you can can build all kinds of forms and you can put in data and then we extended it now put in data and then we extended it now put in data and then we extended it now that the data is submitted with such a that the data is submitted with such a that the data is submitted with such a form um can be stored directly in next form um can be stored directly in next form um can be stored directly in next Lo tables for further processing and we Lo tables for further processing and we Lo tables for further processing and we also extend the next Lo forms that a also extend the next Lo forms that a also extend the next Lo forms that a form that is generated is embeddable in form that is generated is embeddable in form that is generated is embeddable in other web pages so for example if you're other web pages so for example if you're other web pages so for example if you're a city and you want to make it possible a city and you want to make it possible a city and you want to make it possible that another city website you I don't that another city website you I don't that another city website you I don't know you register to some event or apply know you register to some event or apply know you register to some event or apply for childcare kindergarten place or for childcare kindergarten place or for childcare kindergarten place or something then this can be done via form something then this can be done via form something then this can be done via form from nextcloud forms directly on the from nextcloud forms directly on the from nextcloud forms directly on the website of the city in a very easy way website of the city in a very easy way website of the city in a very easy way those are the the really new things now those are the the really new things now those are the the really new things now I'm going to go into some of the I'm going to go into some of the I'm going to go into some of the improvements throughout the entire improvements throughout the entire improvements throughout the entire system and some of the pre-existing system and some of the pre-existing system and some of the pre-existing applications other than the overall applications other than the overall applications other than the overall speed and performance improvements which speed and performance improvements which speed and performance improvements which I touched on a little bit and the first I touched on a little bit and the first I touched on a little bit and the first one is files if I do go over here and go one is files if I do go over here and go one is files if I do go over here and go to files and let's say our documents for to files and let's say our documents for to files and let's say our documents for example they added a much better example they added a much better example they added a much better filtering process so right here we have filtering process so right here we have filtering process so right here we have type modified people so if I want to type modified people so if I want to type modified people so if I want to filter it by type I could switch it by filter it by type I could switch it by filter it by type I could switch it by like the last seven days which is only like the last seven days which is only like the last seven days which is only the new whiteboard that we just created the new whiteboard that we just created the new whiteboard that we just created and then people I can filter by who and then people I can filter by who and then people I can filter by who actually created the various documents actually created the various documents actually created the various documents and in addition I could actually do a uh and in addition I could actually do a uh and in addition I could actually do a uh file request so if I go to new right file request so if I go to new right file request so if I go to new right here I can create a file request this is here I can create a file request this is here I can create a file request this is brand new so I could do a subject need brand new so I could do a subject need brand new so I could do a subject need this script you set the upload location this script you set the upload location this script you set the upload location of where you want the file to be you can of where you want the file to be you can of where you want the file to be you can add a note and we can say um proxmox add a note and we can say um proxmox add a note and we can say um proxmox video 2 is needed and then from there we

video 2 is needed and then from there we video 2 is needed and then from there we could continue here is we can set an could continue here is we can set an could continue here is we can set an expiration date for this uh request if expiration date for this uh request if expiration date for this uh request if we want to we could set a password if we want to we could set a password if we want to we could set a password if that's something you need if I continue that's something you need if I continue that's something you need if I continue from there I can then do a share link from there I can then do a share link from there I can then do a share link for this specific request and I can send for this specific request and I can send for this specific request and I can send the share link via email so that is a the share link via email so that is a the share link via email so that is a really nice addition and then going over really nice addition and then going over really nice addition and then going over to the actual office applications we now to the actual office applications we now to the actual office applications we now have a variety of PDF templates and a have a variety of PDF templates and a have a variety of PDF templates and a new form filling API making it easy to new form filling API making it easy to new form filling API making it easy to fill in time sheets government documents fill in time sheets government documents fill in time sheets government documents and even create charts with data from and even create charts with data from and even create charts with data from your documents and this API can scan a your documents and this API can scan a your documents and this API can scan a PDF form and give you all the fields in PDF form and give you all the fields in PDF form and give you all the fields in a really nice graphical interface the uh a really nice graphical interface the uh a really nice graphical interface the uh presentation tool or the alternative to presentation tool or the alternative to presentation tool or the alternative to like slides or PowerPoint got a few like slides or PowerPoint got a few like slides or PowerPoint got a few improvements one some nice little cool improvements one some nice little cool improvements one some nice little cool uh 3D transitions which is I mean if you uh 3D transitions which is I mean if you uh 3D transitions which is I mean if you want them you got them but really the want them you got them but really the want them you got them but really the big Improvement is loading times have big Improvement is loading times have big Improvement is loading times have been uh substantially increased with been uh substantially increased with been uh substantially increased with these presentations now I just went and these presentations now I just went and these presentations now I just went and added it real quick this is next Cloud added it real quick this is next Cloud added it real quick this is next Cloud tables I haven't really been using it tables I haven't really been using it tables I haven't really been using it because it's been missing a feature that because it's been missing a feature that because it's been missing a feature that they just added I'm going to go and they just added I'm going to go and they just added I'm going to go and create a new table we do have a good create a new table we do have a good create a new table we do have a good amount of uh kind of presets right here amount of uh kind of presets right here amount of uh kind of presets right here I'm just going to select a vacation I'm just going to select a vacation I'm just going to select a vacation requests for example let's create the requests for example let's create the requests for example let's create the table now right here under employee name table now right here under employee name table now right here under employee name now this wasn't really that great cuz now this wasn't really that great cuz now this wasn't really that great cuz just employee name and approved by the just employee name and approved by the just employee name and approved by the boss that's not that's just random boss that's not that's just random boss that's not that's just random random text variables go over here and random text variables go over here and random text variables go over here and create a new column now right here type create a new column now right here type create a new column now right here type we can now go ahead and select users and we can now go ahead and select users and we can now go ahead and select users and groups instead which will allow us to

groups instead which will allow us to groups instead which will allow us to actually select actual people and notify actually select actual people and notify actually select actual people and notify them if they're in this table so this is them if they're in this table so this is them if they're in this table so this is going to be the employee name I'm going going to be the employee name I'm going going to be the employee name I'm going to go ahead and save that and now it is to go ahead and save that and now it is to go ahead and save that and now it is right here and now when I edit this right here and now when I edit this right here and now when I edit this instead of just having well I would have instead of just having well I would have instead of just having well I would have to move these around to get it to line to move these around to get it to line to move these around to get it to line up properly but instead of like the boss up properly but instead of like the boss up properly but instead of like the boss be able to select a specific user in our be able to select a specific user in our be able to select a specific user in our instance very nice so now for things instance very nice so now for things instance very nice so now for things that won't quite work with nexcloud that won't quite work with nexcloud that won't quite work with nexcloud decks for basically things I need custom decks for basically things I need custom decks for basically things I need custom variables for this might be a decent variables for this might be a decent variables for this might be a decent replacement for that since I can replacement for that since I can replacement for that since I can actually add users to it and then next actually add users to it and then next actually add users to it and then next up here we have nexcloud talk now this up here we have nexcloud talk now this up here we have nexcloud talk now this has gotten a really cool update mostly has gotten a really cool update mostly has gotten a really cool update mostly to do with their Federation if you don't to do with their Federation if you don't to do with their Federation if you don't know Federation is a system in which know Federation is a system in which know Federation is a system in which various instances separate NEX Cloud various instances separate NEX Cloud various instances separate NEX Cloud instances on different servers have the instances on different servers have the instances on different servers have the ability to communicate with each other ability to communicate with each other ability to communicate with each other makes it really easy to share files makes it really easy to share files makes it really easy to share files between them things like that it's very between them things like that it's very between them things like that it's very similar to like a Mastadon if you're on similar to like a Mastadon if you're on similar to like a Mastadon if you're on one Mastadon instance for example I'm on one Mastadon instance for example I'm on one Mastadon instance for example I'm on fadon or if you happen to be on Mastadon fadon or if you happen to be on Mastadon fadon or if you happen to be on Mastadon Doo we can still communicate with each Doo we can still communicate with each Doo we can still communicate with each other and see each other's posts within other and see each other's posts within other and see each other's posts within kind of the same interface it's kind of the same interface it's kind of the same interface it's wonderful nexcloud has similar features wonderful nexcloud has similar features wonderful nexcloud has similar features and now they made it so you can do uh and now they made it so you can do uh and now they made it so you can do uh actual voice and video calls between actual voice and video calls between actual voice and video calls between different Federated instances of different Federated instances of different Federated instances of nexcloud so you can set up a video call nexcloud so you can set up a video call nexcloud so you can set up a video call on your very own personal nextcloud on your very own personal nextcloud on your very own personal nextcloud instance with somebody else on either a instance with somebody else on either a instance with somebody else on either a company or their own instance without company or their own instance without company or their own instance without having to create multiple accounts and having to create multiple accounts and having to create multiple accounts and all that stuff oh and if you really like all that stuff oh and if you really like all that stuff oh and if you really like apple and really like to waste money the

apple and really like to waste money the apple and really like to waste money the two kind of go hand inand and you have two kind of go hand inand and you have two kind of go hand inand and you have an apple Vision Pro you can now access an apple Vision Pro you can now access an apple Vision Pro you can now access nextcloud talk with the Vision Pro I nextcloud talk with the Vision Pro I nextcloud talk with the Vision Pro I talk but it's really cool and talk but it's really cool and talk but it's really cool and nextcloud that I know of is the first nextcloud that I know of is the first nextcloud that I know of is the first like open source company that is like open source company that is like open source company that is actually kind of leaning into newer actually kind of leaning into newer actually kind of leaning into newer technology like that and then from there technology like that and then from there technology like that and then from there group where I have email set up on my group where I have email set up on my group where I have email set up on my personal instance but I do have contacts personal instance but I do have contacts personal instance but I do have contacts I'm actually not going to be able to I'm actually not going to be able to I'm actually not going to be able to show any of this as well as calendar but show any of this as well as calendar but show any of this as well as calendar but their groupware stuff has gotten some their groupware stuff has gotten some their groupware stuff has gotten some cool additions including follow-up cool additions including follow-up cool additions including follow-up reminders search filters and in to-end reminders search filters and in to-end reminders search filters and in to-end encryption within mail much better event encryption within mail much better event encryption within mail much better event Windows within calendar and the ability Windows within calendar and the ability Windows within calendar and the ability to display rooms and resources in to display rooms and resources in to display rooms and resources in contacts they made it easy to delete and contacts they made it easy to delete and contacts they made it easy to delete and rename groups send emails to an entire rename groups send emails to an entire rename groups send emails to an entire group as well as adding a replacement group as well as adding a replacement group as well as adding a replacement person if you do set yourself out of person if you do set yourself out of person if you do set yourself out of office and some really handy the ability office and some really handy the ability office and some really handy the ability for emails to automatically get scanned for emails to automatically get scanned for emails to automatically get scanned for fishing attempts and detect that and for fishing attempts and detect that and for fishing attempts and detect that and let you know if that might be a problem let you know if that might be a problem let you know if that might be a problem now as for their actual software clients now as for their actual software clients now as for their actual software clients those have gotten some improvements as those have gotten some improvements as those have gotten some improvements as well most notably the iOS and windows well most notably the iOS and windows well most notably the iOS and windows applications have gotten a design applications have gotten a design applications have gotten a design overhaul making it look much more native overhaul making it look much more native overhaul making it look much more native compared to the web interface and a compared to the web interface and a compared to the web interface and a really big feature in both IOS and really big feature in both IOS and really big feature in both IOS and Android is the ability to have two-way Android is the ability to have two-way Android is the ability to have two-way syncing so you could set up folders that syncing so you could set up folders that syncing so you could set up folders that have that two way syncing capability and have that two way syncing capability and have that two way syncing capability and use that basically however you want in use that basically however you want in use that basically however you want in my head it automatically jumps to being my head it automatically jumps to being my head it automatically jumps to being maybe a possible future alternative to maybe a possible future alternative to maybe a possible future alternative to something like Google photos just a set something like Google photos just a set something like Google photos just a set up your main camera folder as a two-way

up your main camera folder as a two-way up your main camera folder as a two-way sync to a folder on nextcloud for sync to a folder on nextcloud for sync to a folder on nextcloud for photos hey that's something I'm photos hey that's something I'm photos hey that's something I'm definitely going to have to test out and definitely going to have to test out and definitely going to have to test out and out of all this I really truly only out of all this I really truly only out of all this I really truly only scraped the surface of everything that scraped the surface of everything that scraped the surface of everything that they announced there's a bunch of they announced there's a bunch of they announced there's a bunch of Partnerships that they uh started with Partnerships that they uh started with Partnerships that they uh started with some of the big names and email servers some of the big names and email servers some of the big names and email servers again performance has been dramatically again performance has been dramatically again performance has been dramatically improved I can even notice it in this improved I can even notice it in this improved I can even notice it in this beta Channel please do go check out beta Channel please do go check out beta Channel please do go check out their official blog post to learn a heck their official blog post to learn a heck their official blog post to learn a heck of a lot more or or just watch the of a lot more or or just watch the of a lot more or or just watch the entire announcement that's honestly what entire announcement that's honestly what entire announcement that's honestly what I'd personally recommend it was I'd personally recommend it was I'd personally recommend it was wonderful compared to especially when I wonderful compared to especially when I wonderful compared to especially when I first started using this a couple years first started using this a couple years first started using this a couple years back it has gotten so good that it is back it has gotten so good that it is back it has gotten so good that it is really truly a viable alternative uh really truly a viable alternative uh really truly a viable alternative uh it's alternative is not even the right it's alternative is not even the right it's alternative is not even the right word anymore it's a viable competitor to word anymore it's a viable competitor to word anymore it's a viable competitor to Microsoft and um Google at least in this Microsoft and um Google at least in this Microsoft and um Google at least in this space of software and after seeing the space of software and after seeing the space of software and after seeing the improvements I'm even going to lean into improvements I'm even going to lean into improvements I'm even going to lean into it a little bit more like I said try to it a little bit more like I said try to it a little bit more like I said try to get more involved using the groupware get more involved using the groupware get more involved using the groupware and their mail client so then I can and their mail client so then I can and their mail client so then I can fully grasp its power now the one thing fully grasp its power now the one thing fully grasp its power now the one thing that wasn't announced or that there was that wasn't announced or that there was that wasn't announced or that there was no real changes with which made me sad no real changes with which made me sad no real changes with which made me sad is nextcloud deck I did mention that I is nextcloud deck I did mention that I is nextcloud deck I did mention that I do have deck over here I've been using do have deck over here I've been using do have deck over here I've been using other tools and stuff because it has other tools and stuff because it has other tools and stuff because it has hasn't gotten some of the uh features hasn't gotten some of the uh features hasn't gotten some of the uh features that I need and want if I go over here that I need and want if I go over here that I need and want if I go over here to projects this will look a little bit to projects this will look a little bit to projects this will look a little bit better you can see 3 months go 2 months better you can see 3 months go 2 months better you can see 3 months go 2 months ago and that's because there's no custom ago and that's because there's no custom ago and that's because there's no custom Fields if I go to a project such as Fields if I go to a project such as Fields if I go to a project such as Linux on a tablet I've uploaded this

Linux on a tablet I've uploaded this Linux on a tablet I've uploaded this video all we get is the tags the user a video all we get is the tags the user a video all we get is the tags the user a date and a description field you also date and a description field you also date and a description field you also have attachments and comments which is have attachments and comments which is have attachments and comments which is really cool as well as activity but really cool as well as activity but really cool as well as activity but that's it there's no ability to add that's it there's no ability to add that's it there's no ability to add custom fields and before I used this I custom fields and before I used this I custom fields and before I used this I was using notion and that you could just was using notion and that you could just was using notion and that you could just customize it however the hell you want customize it however the hell you want customize it however the hell you want basically so I I had the opportunity to basically so I I had the opportunity to basically so I I had the opportunity to sit down with again Julius and ask him sit down with again Julius and ask him sit down with again Julius and ask him uh about the potential of this so what uh about the potential of this so what uh about the potential of this so what I'm going to do real quick it's only an I'm going to do real quick it's only an I'm going to do real quick it's only an audio only interview but I'm going to audio only interview but I'm going to audio only interview but I'm going to play some Snippets of it some things play some Snippets of it some things play some Snippets of it some things that I deem important so here you go that I deem important so here you go that I deem important so here you go yeah uh I'm Julius I'm team lead of the yeah uh I'm Julius I'm team lead of the yeah uh I'm Julius I'm team lead of the office team but also still doing uh like office team but also still doing uh like office team but also still doing uh like regular engineering Works uh as part of regular engineering Works uh as part of regular engineering Works uh as part of that and yeah mainly working on the uh that and yeah mainly working on the uh that and yeah mainly working on the uh office Integrations that we have uh like office Integrations that we have uh like office Integrations that we have uh like collabora online as next. office uh collabora online as next. office uh collabora online as next. office uh working with only office and uh all the working with only office and uh all the working with only office and uh all the apps that we consider for collaborative apps that we consider for collaborative apps that we consider for collaborative work uh like text collectives uh work uh like text collectives uh work uh like text collectives uh whiteboard uh deck is also part of our whiteboard uh deck is also part of our whiteboard uh deck is also part of our our team the nodes app yeah personally our team the nodes app yeah personally our team the nodes app yeah personally out of out of all those the one the app out of out of all those the one the app out of out of all those the one the app that I probably use the most often is that I probably use the most often is that I probably use the most often is the deck app okay cuz I to hear that the deck app okay cuz I to hear that the deck app okay cuz I to hear that yeah right I I was using uh I mean I yeah right I I was using uh I mean I yeah right I I was using uh I mean I tried a lot of different things I tried tried a lot of different things I tried tried a lot of different things I tried trillo trillo trillo monday.com all these things but I really monday.com all these things but I really monday.com all these things but I really just wanted that kind of simple kind of just wanted that kind of simple kind of just wanted that kind of simple kind of can band setup the the the question is I can band setup the the the question is I can band setup the the the question is I haven't seen like any major updates on haven't seen like any major updates on haven't seen like any major updates on it in quite a while like the last thing it in quite a while like the last thing it in quite a while like the last thing I think I saw was the uh being able to

I think I saw was the uh being able to I think I saw was the uh being able to basically embed files from files app on basically embed files from files app on basically embed files from files app on xcloud which is really cool is there any xcloud which is really cool is there any xcloud which is really cool is there any kind of planned new features or anything kind of planned new features or anything kind of planned new features or anything that's being worked on or tested with it that's being worked on or tested with it that's being worked on or tested with it yeah so I mean we we haven't yet fully yeah so I mean we we haven't yet fully yeah so I mean we we haven't yet fully settled on our uh release plans for the settled on our uh release plans for the settled on our uh release plans for the next one but we already had some next one but we already had some next one but we already had some discussion uh around like uh basically discussion uh around like uh basically discussion uh around like uh basically putting a bit more effort into deck putting a bit more effort into deck putting a bit more effort into deck again because we've seen like we did a again because we've seen like we did a again because we've seen like we did a community survey also uh beginning of community survey also uh beginning of community survey also uh beginning of the year if I remember it correctly and the year if I remember it correctly and the year if I remember it correctly and there were like that was pretty there were like that was pretty there were like that was pretty obviously in in one of the mostly uh obviously in in one of the mostly uh obviously in in one of the mostly uh used apps or apps that people basically used apps or apps that people basically used apps or apps that people basically enjoy using M uh so this is the reason enjoy using M uh so this is the reason enjoy using M uh so this is the reason why yeah we we might uh look more into why yeah we we might uh look more into why yeah we we might uh look more into that like no concrete plans yeah um but that like no concrete plans yeah um but that like no concrete plans yeah um but yeah it's not not out of our track yeah it's not not out of our track yeah it's not not out of our track definitely it's nice because like all definitely it's nice because like all definitely it's nice because like all these other third party apps it's just these other third party apps it's just these other third party apps it's just having everything kind of built into to having everything kind of built into to having everything kind of built into to the same ecosystem and talk to each the same ecosystem and talk to each the same ecosystem and talk to each other and all that's really cool if I other and all that's really cool if I other and all that's really cool if I may provide a uh the the one thing that may provide a uh the the one thing that may provide a uh the the one thing that I see that would make it like kind of a I see that would make it like kind of a I see that would make it like kind of a competitor to like Monday is having competitor to like Monday is having competitor to like Monday is having customizable Fields M that that would be customizable Fields M that that would be customizable Fields M that that would be the the hug thing that because it would the the hug thing that because it would the the hug thing that because it would be on the same level because with like be on the same level because with like be on the same level because with like trillo and Monday and all those you can trillo and Monday and all those you can trillo and Monday and all those you can kind of like you with like tables or kind of like you with like tables or kind of like you with like tables or just an Excel spreadsheet make custom just an Excel spreadsheet make custom just an Excel spreadsheet make custom columns and then have a like project columns and then have a like project columns and then have a like project templates and that's kind of something

templates and that's kind of something templates and that's kind of something in notion too is the ability to so it's in notion too is the ability to so it's in notion too is the ability to so it's not really a question more of a more of not really a question more of a more of not really a question more of a more of a suggestion no sure yeah there has been a suggestion no sure yeah there has been a suggestion no sure yeah there has been some discussion already about uh that some discussion already about uh that some discussion already about uh that kind of a feature in on GitHub already kind of a feature in on GitHub already kind of a feature in on GitHub already MH um I think it kind of makes sense MH um I think it kind of makes sense MH um I think it kind of makes sense also because it gives you more of a like also because it gives you more of a like also because it gives you more of a like Dynamic ability to structure your data Dynamic ability to structure your data Dynamic ability to structure your data and and sort it or like filter for it and and sort it or like filter for it and and sort it or like filter for it I'm not a developer I'm more of a I'm not a developer I'm more of a I'm not a developer I'm more of a consumer that reviews and checks stuff consumer that reviews and checks stuff consumer that reviews and checks stuff out so like tables is really cool um are out so like tables is really cool um are out so like tables is really cool um are are you on the yeah also involved uh in are you on the yeah also involved uh in are you on the yeah also involved uh in that in our team yeah feels like that that in our team yeah feels like that that in our team yeah feels like that there could be um I feels I'm not a there could be um I feels I'm not a there could be um I feels I'm not a developer and probably I might be way developer and probably I might be way developer and probably I might be way overreaching but it feels like between overreaching but it feels like between overreaching but it feels like between like tables deck and even like to do like tables deck and even like to do like tables deck and even like to do there could be kind of like a mutual there could be kind of like a mutual there could be kind of like a mutual integration between all them with how integration between all them with how integration between all them with how like the data is set up cuz like in like the data is set up cuz like in like the data is set up cuz like in tables uh if there's like a um for like tables uh if there's like a um for like tables uh if there's like a um for like the progress of a project because that's the progress of a project because that's the progress of a project because that's one thing for basic projects I set up one thing for basic projects I set up one thing for basic projects I set up most things in deck but if something most things in deck but if something most things in deck but if something needs custom fields at the moment I'll needs custom fields at the moment I'll needs custom fields at the moment I'll put it in tables and just kind of have put it in tables and just kind of have put it in tables and just kind of have one of the variables as the progress of one of the variables as the progress of one of the variables as the progress of that project there are certainly some that project there are certainly some that project there are certainly some discussions we already had around it discussions we already had around it discussions we already had around it also because like you could imagine also because like you could imagine also because like you could imagine tables just being uh like storage back tables just being uh like storage back tables just being uh like storage back end for all the other ads like for deck end for all the other ads like for deck end for all the other ads like for deck for example yeah like one thing we for example yeah like one thing we for example yeah like one thing we always try to avoid Nexel is to have too always try to avoid Nexel is to have too always try to avoid Nexel is to have too much of hard cross app dependencies

much of hard cross app dependencies much of hard cross app dependencies because we like to stay modular and like because we like to stay modular and like because we like to stay modular and like if there is a user that just has this if there is a user that just has this if there is a user that just has this one use case rather simple one and it one use case rather simple one and it one use case rather simple one and it should just work with having that one should just work with having that one should just work with having that one app enabled yeah um but there are app enabled yeah um but there are app enabled yeah um but there are definitely FS around that I mean for for definitely FS around that I mean for for definitely FS around that I mean for for deck and task for example we had uh like deck and task for example we had uh like deck and task for example we had uh like a few releases back at least like the a few releases back at least like the a few releases back at least like the the read support for for Kala which is the read support for for Kala which is the read support for for Kala which is not as useful yet uh um but yeah like a not as useful yet uh um but yeah like a not as useful yet uh um but yeah like a right support would be the next step so right support would be the next step so right support would be the next step so that your deck uh or your if you use that your deck uh or your if you use that your deck uh or your if you use deck for task management you could deck for task management you could deck for task management you could basically also make use of a uh K client basically also make use of a uh K client basically also make use of a uh K client for for that and also had a chat with for for that and also had a chat with for for that and also had a chat with with someone around here at the with someone around here at the with someone around here at the conference that uh had the nice idea conference that uh had the nice idea conference that uh had the nice idea that if you have checklist items in your that if you have checklist items in your that if you have checklist items in your description you could also consider that description you could also consider that description you could also consider that as subtask for example and then make as subtask for example and then make as subtask for example and then make that also sync in in both ways yeah but that also sync in in both ways yeah but that also sync in in both ways yeah but yeah so far uh I think there some nice yeah so far uh I think there some nice yeah so far uh I think there some nice ideas floating around there yeah I can ideas floating around there yeah I can ideas floating around there yeah I can see as a developer integrating some of see as a developer integrating some of see as a developer integrating some of them it's not the easiest thing to yeah them it's not the easiest thing to yeah them it's not the easiest thing to yeah especially if you want to have this especially if you want to have this especially if you want to have this two-way sync where like for the for the two-way sync where like for the for the two-way sync where like for the for the kala example um there is not like a kala example um there is not like a kala example um there is not like a onetoone representation in the onetoone representation in the onetoone representation in the deck data format to what what's deck data format to what what's deck data format to what what's available in the C standard for example available in the C standard for example available in the C standard for example okay yeah so and then to actually do okay yeah so and then to actually do okay yeah so and then to actually do that you'd have to go through and that you'd have to go through and that you'd have to go through and actually make that compatibility and my actually make that compatibility and my actually make that compatibility and my main questions were about deck so um is main questions were about deck so um is main questions were about deck so um is there anything else you want to add or there anything else you want to add or there anything else you want to add or nothing in particular I mean I'm nothing in particular I mean I'm nothing in particular I mean I'm personally quite happy that uh to meet

personally quite happy that uh to meet personally quite happy that uh to meet deck users all the time because that was deck users all the time because that was deck users all the time because that was actually like I started that as a actually like I started that as a actually like I started that as a community project before I joined the community project before I joined the community project before I joined the company and then uh yes like kind of my company and then uh yes like kind of my company and then uh yes like kind of my my app baby that I that I brought with my app baby that I that I brought with my app baby that I that I brought with me so always happy to to see that people me so always happy to to see that people me so always happy to to see that people like it and make use of it it's awesome like it and make use of it it's awesome like it and make use of it it's awesome awesome well that's it I I do appreciate awesome well that's it I I do appreciate awesome well that's it I I do appreciate it so it really is promising that they it so it really is promising that they it so it really is promising that they they are taking the uh custom field they are taking the uh custom field they are taking the uh custom field things seriously and even um things seriously and even um things seriously and even um acknowledging that many of the features acknowledging that many of the features acknowledging that many of the features that are requested with deck could just that are requested with deck could just that are requested with deck could just simply be solved with custom Fields I do simply be solved with custom Fields I do simply be solved with custom Fields I do understand it's a lot of work and having understand it's a lot of work and having understand it's a lot of work and having too many of these applications kind of too many of these applications kind of too many of these applications kind of intertwine with each other could add intertwine with each other could add intertwine with each other could add problems in the future but even if it's problems in the future but even if it's problems in the future but even if it's a completely separate thing having those a completely separate thing having those a completely separate thing having those custom fields to be able to set custom fields to be able to set custom fields to be able to set variables for like myself instead of variables for like myself instead of variables for like myself instead of just a due date have a due date for just a due date have a due date for just a due date have a due date for specific parts of a task have various specific parts of a task have various specific parts of a task have various fields for if a video is sponsored or fields for if a video is sponsored or fields for if a video is sponsored or not who's the sponsor a field for links not who's the sponsor a field for links not who's the sponsor a field for links for resources for me there would be a for resources for me there would be a for resources for me there would be a lot of use cases in that but hopefully lot of use cases in that but hopefully lot of use cases in that but hopefully that that's a thing that does come soon that that's a thing that does come soon that that's a thing that does come soon so yeah that's what's new with nexcloud so yeah that's what's new with nexcloud so yeah that's what's new with nexcloud Hub 9 I really enjoyed the conference uh Hub 9 I really enjoyed the conference uh Hub 9 I really enjoyed the conference uh do if you're able will go to the new one do if you're able will go to the new one do if you're able will go to the new one next year I'm not sure if they're going next year I'm not sure if they're going next year I'm not sure if they're going to do it again but there was a section to do it again but there was a section to do it again but there was a section where they can if you're actually like a where they can if you're actually like a where they can if you're actually like a part of the community and contribute part of the community and contribute part of the community and contribute they um were offering some Travel they um were offering some Travel they um were offering some Travel Assistance so do keep your eye out for Assistance so do keep your eye out for Assistance so do keep your eye out for that especially if you do contribute to that especially if you do contribute to that especially if you do contribute to the actual software or if you're heavily the actual software or if you're heavily the actual software or if you're heavily involved in this community somehow and involved in this community somehow and involved in this community somehow and once this full thing is out of the beta

once this full thing is out of the beta once this full thing is out of the beta Channel I do plan on updating my Channel I do plan on updating my Channel I do plan on updating my nexcloud all-in-one installation guide nexcloud all-in-one installation guide nexcloud all-in-one installation guide to show you how easy it is to get this to show you how easy it is to get this to show you how easy it is to get this up and running uh locally or whatever it up and running uh locally or whatever it up and running uh locally or whatever it may be so just do make sure you may be so just do make sure you may be so just do make sure you subscribe ring that Bell so you do not subscribe ring that Bell so you do not subscribe ring that Bell so you do not miss the next Cloud full installation miss the next Cloud full installation miss the next Cloud full installation guide going over everything what all the guide going over everything what all the guide going over everything what all the containers are and do I'm going to go containers are and do I'm going to go containers are and do I'm going to go really in depth for you guys and yeah really in depth for you guys and yeah really in depth for you guys and yeah with all that I do hope you have an with all that I do hope you have an with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye
