Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried to keep the syncing as simple as possible. All data is first encrypted on the device using the user's key and then pushed and saved in the server db. When you login from another device your data is fetched and decrypted and shown to you.

How does this handle conflicting offline writes?

For most cases, the most recently edited copy is kept. However, if there's a conflict between 2 notes then a nice Git Conflict like UI is shown with both notes side by side and their differences highlighted.

How easy is it to link to other notes from the current note? This is the main thing keeping me on Notion.

Currently, no. I made a prototype for it a while back but we had to change editors and it was pushed back. But it won't take long to revive so it is definitely in the plans.

How can I install this on my Android phone if I am running GraoheneOS which is Google-free? Can I download the app from somewhere?

You can use the AuroraStore[1] to download the app seamlessly. Otherwise, you can use any Play Store APK downloader.

Hi, this looks promising. I'm currently looking for an app to take study notes, which include a lot of mathematical equations. Would Notesnook support this? Thank you!

Hey, thanks for checking Notesnook out!

Yes! We are currently internally testing MathJax support in Notesnook so it'll be out and about soon.

I have used CherryTree (AES encryption) + and syncthing for ages on linux. The only limitation is currently doesn't run on android.

That's cool. I didn't know about CherryTree. Syncthing is amazing though.

I hope you'll give Notesnook a try too. I am sure it will be a better change
