I’d like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network… For example, I know Nextcloud let me have a history of the notes.

      My phone script is quite simple, and I set it up on cron, so I don’t get out of state very often. I handle if there could be conflicts via script on my Linux pc with stash and pull etc. Automated cron also

        Yeah, and for that reason, I opted for syncthing instead of Git for this use case.

          I’ve not needed to deal with a conflict, it’s automated.

          But what’s the latency with syncthing or its instant?

            Syncthing uses inotify to watch for changes, so it’s pretty much instant

              Might look into it if I get conflicts, thanks!
