Slightly more technical details:

• Nextcloud Notes sync is via the REST API, not WebDAV, which makes it snappy.
• There’s basic sync conflict detection.
• Notes are constantly saved.
• Large note collections are partially loaded to quicken startup.
• Notes are stored in SQLite, providing for fast search (FTS) without reinventing the wheel. Plain files can be retrieved by making a backup (CLI).
