For a long time Joplin's support on Android was buggy and late on releases, it's why I switched away. Is it better now?

I am of the opinion that there isn’t really a good editor for Android, but Joplin is probably as good as we’re getting. (I love iA Writer, but it’s not as good as it could be on Android.) I think the sync server is Joplin’s secret weapon on this front. I tried using Syncthing for managing my docs for a while, but I think having a dedicated sync server helps on mobile. I found using alternative sync methods was too wo…

Syncthing on android works for Joplin only to version 2.5.

That’s exactly why I’m building a note-taking app in Qt C++ and QML that is vastly more performant than other note-taking apps[1]. This degradation of software by web apps shows in the lack of optimal resource utilization of even one of the most powerful chips of recent times. [1] https://www.get-plume.com/

Scrolling in the webpage crashed my browser (Firefox, ios).

Weird, it seems to work fine for me (Firefox, iOS).

Same here! And you can encrypt the sync so you know Microsoft cannot get access to your personal information.

And how would you decrypt on mobile while allowing to edit the files? Cryptomator works well as long as your on a desktop platform, but when you move to a smartphone they provide only their crippled file-manager which is not accessible form third party apps.

Joplin has built-in encryption, which works just fine on desktop and mobile, with shared passphrase between them

I’m speaking more generally. (As in, I used Syncthing to sync actual docs to a folder on my phone.)

But Joplin above 2.5 version wont read those synced data.

You can run a separate Syncthing instance and directly link it through the file system, which is what I meant.

Sure, but Joplon above version 2.5 wont read those data.
