Yet another note taking recommendation needed (discuss.tchncs.de)

I am currently using Trilium for my notes. But I am constantly annoyed by the mobile experience. What I want:

  • sync across devices from a central server (this is why I went with Trilium, as having a web client means there's always the same notes everywhere)

  • native Android app with local storage so that I don't have to log in just for looking up a single note (this is what annoys me most about Trilium, plus the UX on mobile)

  • web version (for use on PC)

I only need very basic markup, markdown support is enough. I don't worry about security, as I run everything inside my own VPN.

Is there something like this out there? I always see people raving about Obsidian, but sync seems to really suck there. Using some folder sync is a no go for me.

Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It's not working for me and I don't have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can't get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with "Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication". Whatever that means. It won't explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.
