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.
best description I have ever read of syncthing. they should put this in their readme or about page. describes the pros & cons in an honest way. I’ve had all the problems you describe and will probably have them again in the future, be confounded, be frustrated.
I get (mostly) worry-free backups
except this; it’s sync not back up. ;) but it is very backup-like and in some situations does the job as well or better than backups

I <3 syncthing nevertheless
Sync isn’t backup, but proper versioning can be a very simple backup.
