I mostly just use Syncthing for syncing the files, and otherwise I let Obsidian do the driving.
I’m fine with Obsidian on desktop and I love that they have a fully-featured app, but the experience on mobile and iPad with the obsidian app is not the best UI experience. I also find it to be a bit buggy at times.
@nightscout @spencerwi
IA Writer works very nicely with Obsidian. The styling looks different, YAML is visible, and anything outside markdown won't be rendered, but it reads and writes perfectly (although I rarely find a need for it anymore). The iPad app has come a long way but yeah, it's not perfect yet.
That’s one app I really wanted to try to use but they don’t yet have a trial or monthly subscription option for iOS (supposed to release one). I didn’t want to pay $50 for it just yet.
@nightscout @laroquephoto At $50, the mobile version of iA Writer has become way overpriced, especially if you’re only going to use it on an iPhone. Imo 1Writer is pretty much equally good (I own both) and last I looked it only costs $5. Fwiw, you can also sign into Dropbox with it, which you can’t do with iA Writer.
Yeah, I agree. The developer said they were going to move to a subscription option for iOS, but that has not happened yet.
@nightscout Makes sense. Another one that works well is Writer btw. Basically any text editor that can read and write to external folders on iOS/iPadOS.
Although Ulysses introduces problematic characters for some reason, at least it did just before I left it for Obsidian.
