markdown-mode VS syncthing-android

My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

Even emacs has a markdown mode:

There is markdown-mode if you really prefer it over org. I use it to read markdown files sent by colleagues. It's very powerful, and very well documented, though honestly I don't use much of it's functionality. I use it mainly for it's ability to hide the markup (much like org) and follow hyperlinks.

As much as I love Emacs with markdown-mode, I agree that ghostwriter is the simplest for most users.

I can't find it here https://leanpub.com/markdown-mode/read#leanpub-auto-lists and here https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/

;; This is a workaround to a bug in markdown-mode: ;; See: https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode/issues/377 ;; https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/333#issuecomment-913015564 (defun mpolden/gfm-unescape-string (string) "Remove backslash-escape of punctuation characters in STRING." ;; https://github.github.com/gfm/#backslash-escapes (replace-regexp-in-string "[\\]\([][!\"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@\_`{|}~-]\)" "\1" string))

Emacs makes autosaves by default and supports markdown-mode. Usually though it's nicer to put them in a central location by setting backup-directory-alist instead of the default behavior of putting them in directory you're working in of the original file. I stuff them into a directory ~/.saves with (setq backup-directory-alist(("." . "~/.saves")))`.

markdown-mode by Jason Blevins seems not have this function.

You might wish to install the Markdown Mode package. If don't want to do that for some reason, you can tell Emacs that files with names ending in ".md" should be opened in Text Mode by doing something like

I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:

- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)

- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)

Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.

We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.

Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

I have used both for a number of years already.

[2] https://github.com/schollz/croc

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.

After minimal setup, it just works(tm).

You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").

I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)

For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.

You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.

For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
