I would like to use my laptop for note taking in class, and use an android based e-ink tablet for handwriting and diagrams. What are your recommendations for delivering the tablet’s notes to the vault? Obsidian on the tablet with first party sync looks like a possibility. What about another app that can use SyncThing or similar that the laptop vault can turn pull?

    I use git to synchronise and versionise my notes across my desktop pc and laptop. If I need access to the notes away from those two I simply access my git repository I self-hosted via gitea. Sure it has not the linking features of obsidian, but I still can read and edit the markdown files :)

    My use case by the way is world building for a literature project and running Pathfinder Role-playing games.

      I do the same thing, using a home-grown Git sync solution to keep my vault synced between my desktop, laptop, and Android phone. Free, and easy to setup on the computers, needed some additional SW on the Android side to get the sync to work.

    I use Dropbox to sync between my tablet, phone, and laptop. Dropbox let’s you use three devices for free so I don’t pay anything for this solution and everything is backed up to Dropbox. My phone and tablet are both android devices so I use dropsync to actually do the syncing with Dropbox so that they can be accessed via Obsidian.

    I use the self Hosted live sync. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

    It works beautifully. Realtime sync and conflict resolution between all the devices it’s on (My phone, laptop, and desktop).

    I only have mine setup to work on the same network, but you could get it to work over the internet, but that’s much more security & proxy work.

    If you wanted to do it all in the cloud. An (over provisioned) VPS, domain, and other configuration would still cost you less than what Obsidian wants for their live sync.
