You could use big text, so you can't see that much text onscreen, but it could ironically make it easier to write productively.
I really really need a mobile app for org-mode that syncs without pain (yes, I am aware of Orgzly + Syncthing, I am using it, but it still is not as smooth as I want it to be, and has too many annoyances). I simply cannot imagine leaving the comfort of org-mode for something inferior like markdown, even though there are cool plugins in the Obsidian ecosystem. Question if you are an Obsidian user - what are your most…
I'm using Orgzly on my phone now to take notes. I also have Emacs on my various computers, always open on at least one, though I never got into Org-mode much. Now, I'd like to try having the same notes on all devices. Synchthing is mentioned often with Orgzly, so I looked into Syncthing. I've been disappointed to find Syncthing drains the phone battery excessively if you enable continuous (event-driven) two-way sync…
You can use more restrictive run conditions, and limit how much time it spends per hour active.
You can also limit it to run only when charging or on specific networks.

The Russian war on Ukraine is the term you were looking for.
As a Russian I'd rather call it the Putin's war.
- Against Georgia (2008)
- against Ichkeria, twice (1994, 1999)
- against Afghanistan (Dec 24, 1979 – Feb 15, 1989)
Just to name a few. ‘As a Russian, I’d rather avoid any responsibility for the actions of my government and play a victim card, telling everyone I didn’t vote for it, so it’s everyone else’s problem.’ Yeah, sounds very Russian to me. Very Russian indeed.

Because of the small screen? You could use big text, so you can't see that much text onscreen, but it could ironically make it easier to write productively.
On a touch any human type a limited fraction of WPM than with a computer keyboard and the mental effort is much higher. They are just consumption devices, Emacs is meant more to produce than consume, like classic desktops vs modern ones.
We are human, able to consume, but also to produce content, not to be driven by a remote platform but to drive ourselves with the computing to help, see the classic http://augmentingcognition.com/assets/Kay1977.pdf this is the model...

It very much depends on your workflow. Some people may need to use different org files for quickly capturing notes on both phone and desktop while avoiding conflicts. (Luckily, both Orgzly and org-mode has good support for combining content from multiple files.)
But in general, the git repository type (still in beta) allows two way syncing without unnecessary conflicts.
I used orgzly+syncthing for a while but the overhead of manually resolving conflicts between my laptop and phone were not worth it in the end. I'd consider using it again if a sync protocol or some other mechanism of merging changes across multiple computers is added.
How does it compare to other note taking apps like Obsidian, Notion, Joplin etc? I used Joplin for about a year and ended up taking a lot of notes. But after a year it was so full of garbage that I found it increasingly difficult to keep things tagged, clearing my "inbox" of quickly taken notes. And it ended up looking like my work email inbox. The catalyst for giving it up was a subtle policy change at work that mad…

Because of the touch input, it's limits (like no modifiers except on third party keyboards that do not offer swyping) and also the small screen, partially covered by the keyboard itself when you write.

...Ok, they didn't say Bluetooth, but why else would they mention a keyboard?
