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.

    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!
