Comment on Write Plain Text Files (2022)

Comments

My only problem with all thing plain text is I need cross-platform sync cuz I write on both my phone and laptop. For these I use Simplenote which has served me super well, but still looking for solutions where I can actually write plain text "files" while have convenient syncing.

These are orthogonal problems.

As neighbor poster mentioned, you can use eg Syncthing to sync your plain text files.

These are orthogonal problems.

Yes and no. Non-plaintext formats can choose to integrate CRDTs or Operational Transform or such to improve sync.

(And, the other way around, plaintext formats are more suitable for long-term history in version control.)

Nextcloud Notes is what I use.

SyncThing. Even on iOS.
