Shopping list software (lemm.ee)

Hi. Does anyone have any recommendations for FOSS shopping list software for android, which has a "sync" feature so that it can be used by the whole family?

I currently rely on workflowy, and - while it works great - I'd really rather use something that was open source. Thanks in advance.

Assuming you mean a general note-taking app rather than something specific to shopping lists, perhaps this would fit the bill?

https://logseq.com/

I haven't tried it yet myself, but I've been looking to move away from Notion and this looks interesting. It's billed as open source but I came across this on their alternativeto.net page: "Notice: the backend code will be open-sourced as soon as we’re sure that the backend service meets the security standards."

I'm not sure if that's still relevant or not, but am posting it FYI.

Thanks. I have actually been using logseq for journals and notes, and syncing has been great even with syncthing between my phone and my computers. I just notice enough lag on the sync that I don't know whether it'll be as "realtime multiplayer" as workflowy seems to be. With workflowy I can be ticking off completed items while someone else at home is adding things to another part of the list and it just works, which is annoying because as mentioned, I would really rather not use closed source stuff.

I will set up a shared logseq graph though and do some testing. Thanks 👍
