How are you using Syncthing on iOS?

3 года назадdiscuss

I want to be able to access the same content from my laptop, phone, and tablet. I used Obsidian for a while with a convoluted setup (a Git repo with an iOS shortcut that fetched when the Obsidian app was launched), but it proved too slow and error-prone to continue using.

I want the whole stack to be open source, which is why I’m not using Obsidian Sync or an iOS Syncthing client. So while I don’t technically need web client, I don’t know of any other solution that would work for me.

The ideal “knowledge base” app I’ve been searching for is as follows:

  - Self-hosted
  - Attractive web client that loads very quickly and works well on mobile
  - Can point it at a nested directory of text/markdown and image/pdf files (no sql database)
  - Text files are editable in place (no “edit” button, etc.)
  - Markdown displays in a plain-text view (no hidden formatting characters, no “rich text” editor)

Every app I’ve tried misses at least of these. The closest I’ve found, strangely, is vscode-server, which is just too bloated and mobile-unfriendly to work for me. I’m perpetually a millimeter away from writing my own, but I feel like I need to stop doing that.

Does this app exist?

Nice to see this here. I’ve using a tablet for cursor movement since around 2010, and I find it amazing except for one small issue I’ve never been able to solve: tapping with the pen in order to click is finicky, because if I even drag a few pixels during the tap, it turns into a drag gesture.

Right now I’m using a Huion tablet, which does not appear to allow customizing the drag-to-disable-click distance. Is there any Mac utility that would work for this?

I agree about the left-right issue. I just can’t get acclimated to the current controls. Lovely game though, still good fun :)

+1 for Outline! Self-hosted server and web app, clean codebase, loads fast, mobile friendly, actively maintained. I had tried Obsidian, Trilium, TiddlyWiki, and all the rest (not to mention Notion, Bear, etc.). Outline is the first knowledge base I’ve tried that checks almost every box.

(The only unchecked box is that data is stored in a database instead of markdown files, but I decided to let go of that one.)

Edit: Funny, this thread is discussing two different Outlines. I’m talking about https://www.getoutline.com/.

Fastmail’s calendar does exactly this - infinite continuous scroll - and I love it. I also find it constricting when I use another calendar (Google Calendar, for instance) that paginates by month.
