I am really disappointed by the current state of org mode (or just note taking in general) on Android.
I really want a simple, dedicated app where I can:
1. make a simple list or takes some notes
2. have that be saved in some plain text format that can be edited in vim or emacs on my computer
3. have that file be accessible in a way that Syncthing can pick it up
4. Pick up changes made on the file system
Orgzly seems to want to do its own thing and fails at 3 and 4. orgro is read-only. Every other note-taking or list app I've seen just stores stuff in its own little database in its own format.
@pganssle
I am using Orgzly for just what you describe. There are quite a few limitations as to what you can do with it (at least compared to an Emacs setup) and I find it a little cumbersome to use with many files (so no org-roam). However, syncing via Syncthing works just fine for me: changes on the computer are picked up in the app and vice versa. Only under certain circumstances could I run into merge conflicts but that hasn't happened in several months now.
What is the issue that you see?
@hanno Turns out I didn't realize that it doesn't import folders when you set up a local sync: https://qoto.org/@pganssle/110860887370565171
Looks like you *can* do syncing with it, I'm going to try it out and see how well it works.
