I feel like nextcloud replacement is out of scope ?
I mostly felt like Timelize was about being *behind* data-generating applications and showing and cross-referencing their data when reading the website.
I think the way is to do some sort of nextcloud extension that puts data into Timeline.
I also saw it tracks "documents" on the website but I didn't try it yet, and I would hope it can use external document sources that are already processing documents like paperless for example (which I am already using and liking)
Well, I don't plan on 1:1 feature parity with NextCloud or any comprehensive cloud suite. But I think in terms of what was mentioned: "storing all my documents and books and documenting when I added, opened, edited them. I want it to store all notes that I write," I think that's in scope.
So yes, Timelinize sits behind your current work flows. It's more of a resting place for your data (which you can still organize and curate -- more features to come in this regard), but I also can see why it might make sense to be one's primary photo library application, in the future, with more development.
As for document storage, this is still WIP, and the implementation could use more discussion to clarify the vision and specifics.
I also should have mentioned in my comment that I only host nextcloud for myself and my family.
That may be more realistic and in scope than how nextcloud actually supports entire orgs/organizational units.
