qmarkdowntextedit VS syncthing-android

There are a few around if you google markdown qsyntaxhighlighter

Hey!

1. We're currently using QWidgets which doesn't look good on mobile. But we plan to port the UI to Qt Quick (logic will stay in C++). Our new kanban feature and some other widgets are already built with Qt Quick/QML. And we'll work on syncing too. I wrote that in my comment.

2. We're actually using a major componenet from the maker of QOwnNotes called QMarkdownTextEdit[1] for our Markdown editor. It Works great (thanks @pbek!). Just two days ago someone managed to port the syntax highlighter to QML which paves the way for us to port the UI over to QML[2].

3. I never used Evernote (maybe I used it for a short time but I can't remember). Because we currently don't have a mobile app I use the built-in Apple's Notes on my phone that syncs well to the Desktop app and the I'll just copy over the notes to my app.

Hi! We are currently using a database. But since the request to work with flat files came up so many times I'll have to consider it. And yes, seems like QMarkdownTextEdit which we're using supports YMAL headers[1]

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.

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.
