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

Then git pull rebase and commit. Done
Does not have great UX on phones though.
I made some Termux shortcut scripts in bash for it. Works well, but not for everybody ;)
Never had merge conflicts I take it 😄

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!
