Oh, I totally get it… I’ve been in the same place many times (and I’m sure I will be again…)

I just have a policy of trying to support these things whenever I’m able to, otherwise I feel I’m not able to grumble when privacy respecting apps disappear from existence through lack of financial support…

For what it’s worth, I ended up choosing the obsidian sync service. While it goes against my “self host everything” mantra, I do also want to support software makers who make great products that respect peoples privacy. As such, I decided the $8/m investment was warranted.

My son in highschool uses Obsidian for all his school note taking, so he actually is able to use the same sync subscription… As each vault has separate keys, there’s no privacy issues between us…

My favourite part of this solution is it supports live update from multiple devices at once, so I have the vault open on phone, tablet, home laptop and work laptop simultaneously, and it just works…

Just thought it was worth sharing.

Thank you for this diagram. 🙏🏻

I just live in constant amazement at the mathematics and science that allow us an understanding of our place in the universe, and the creation of such a diagram… 🤓

I’ve been using it on multiple devices for multiple years.

It works for me, and every app in want to use works. I’ve found that when they don’t, it almost always is broken on the stock OS also.

I just went with GrapheneOS on a Pixel… It’s as close to “it just works” as you’re going to get in my opinion on a device that respects your privacy. .
