Suggestions for a list manager

Hi everyone. For the past few days, I've been searching for an app
(preferably also accessible on an Android phone) from which I can read
and modify my lists (future travel destinations, quote collection,
software tools).

The easy way out is to put each list into a CSV file and sync them
over to the phone via syncthing, but I'd honestly prefer to find a
better option, if there is one.

I use CalDav plus todo apps for all my lists, but if you don't want
that ...

Obsidian?  Joplin?  Logseq?

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually use Joplin for long-form notes,
but I don't feel it's well suited for displaying long lists, largely
due to the limitations of Markdown.

What about [Vikunja](https://vikunja.io/)?

Vikunja is good for to-do lists but that's not my intended use case.

Perhaps you are looking for Kanban? Obsidian has a community plugin
for it. It's the only way (I've found) to self host kanban *and* have
a mobile app.

Kanban is for project management. My use case is to view and
(occasionally) update theme-specific lists, like a [quote
collection](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/collections).

Yes, that's its typical use case. I use it for many things, including
things like you're describing. If it's not what you want, that's cool!
Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks for sharing your workflow. I don't see myself using Kanban for
list viewing, but someone reading this might think otherwise. For the
time being, I think I'll store the lists in csv format and view/edit
them in Collabora.
