It is a really good app. But was a pain in the ass to keep the archive in sync using multiple different platforms without paying for their sync addon in my experience. You can roll your own sync with stuff like Syncthing, cloud storage, etc. But the archive had a bad habit of seemingly finding ways to get out of sync.

I just paid for the sync ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Itโ€™s $4 a month, I drink one beer less a month and I actually save 3โ‚ฌ ๐Ÿ˜€

Oh I donโ€™t disagree, it is worth it. I ended up paying for it myself before I switched to Joplin. I just went down a rabbit hole of realizing I technically could self host the backend and stubbornly tried to make it work well beyond what was good sense at the time. ๐Ÿ˜…

Did you make it work? I kind of remember trying but failing. The promise of self host is a soothing edge against feature backsliding (enshittification) so itโ€™s a great selling point. But not if you try and itโ€™s not actually practical (looking at you signal)

Take a look a SyncThing! Itโ€™s a free FOSS app for syncing files and is available on all devices, and itโ€™s all self hosted. I initially used it for Obsidian syncing, but itโ€™s proved incredibly useful beyond that

The biggest issue I had was with folder permissions on Android. I also ended up paying for the sync functionality and have zero regrets.

Same with OneDrive.

Itโ€™s just a folder of markdown files, basically anything should work.
