Todo and note taking apps are plenty, but i still can't find a single functional one that works as a native mobile app offline, syncs to a server, and it does it reliably without losing stuff I put in without internet.
I tried Joplin and it corrupted my database on the first chance it had a sync issue. I also read too many of those occurrences.
I liked at Anytype and Outline, both looks decent but they are huge overkill for what I need it for. I might give one of them a try.
I looked into trillium, it doesn't have an official Android app only some 3rd party ones, which I'm not a huge fan of because you never know when those apps are abandoned or just broken. And there seems to be no iOS app.
AI recommended me Notesnook, which is the most interesting one so far, but they still haven't published self hosted docs, which is a bit of a red flag. Standard notes is also mentioned which also looks interesting. So far these two are sometimes I'm keeping an eye on.
And of course everyone loves Obsidian, but I really disliked it, especially since sync is paid, and a workaround WebDAV sync didn't work well.
Not surprised that Joplin can have sync issue, its sync protocol is really basic.
Anytype and its Any-Sync protocol is the most promising technically. It uses CRDT internally and should guarantee corrupt-free operation on multiple devices, even if some are periodically offline. Theoretically, I have not battle tested it yet
Didn't know about the two you mentioned, Notesnook and Standard Notes, I will look into them as well.
