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.
I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file
For working on markdown files you should additionally look into https://silverbullet.md , it’s great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline
fuck man, this silver bullet looks pretty cool. project is about 1.5 years old? i guess it’s been longer than that since i investigated these kinds of tools
While you can use SilverBullet as a simple note taking application that stores notes in plain markdown files on disk, it becomes truly powerful in the hands of more technical power users. By leveraging metadata annotations, its Objects infrastructure, Live Queries and Live Templates, SilverBullet becomes a powerful end-user programming tool, enabling you to quickly develop various types of ad-hoc knowledge applications.
I have errands to run this weekend and I cannot spend the whole time immersed in this.
I use Joplin (hosted on my home Nextcloud server) and its very good, so far. I haven’t had it long. Nextcloud also has a native Notes app that is decent but not very featureful. Joplin works well for me, as I already had a Nextcloud instance.

A self hosted Joplin sync server is also pretty nice.
does it support plain markdown?
IME joplin has its own format
