For iOS, I placed a syncthing folder inside my iCloud directory and it works fairly well. My MacBook, an always-on Pi, and a few other boxes run syncthing for a directory full of Markdown files that I use with Notational Velocity[0] on Mac and 1Writer[1] (highly recommended!) on iOS. Using it this way for a couple years and it works well, occasionally go through and diff the sync conflict files that slowly... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Just picking and choosing the best features from my favorite apps: - TaskPaper tags are nice, but isn't multi-platform. - I like search+creation UX of nvAlt (explained well on: https://notational.net/), but no decent non-mac clients.

I setup Raindrop.io [1] to feed into Archivebox, mostly as an overcomplicated way to automatically submit the page to archive.org [2]. Raindrop is nice since it works in browser and as a phone app - so it truly is a single bookmarking tool. I mostly use it for search purposes, bookmarking things I may want to find again in a few years. I rarely look at my Archivebox, but it's nice to know it's there with offline... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
