> there is an option to use syncthing for syncing to other devices
Intriguing, is this built into the app itself? I gave SyncThing a solid try and it failed on me pretty badly, in a number of ways. Also didn't the mobile app get abandoned some time ago?
I'll install it and kick the tires at least.

That's definitely a good feature. Getting this from my existing notes app requires a manual export.
For basic notes, Markor + Syncthing works a treat. I've been using it for years, and never had any issues with it.
I recently switched back to Joplin Notes, largely because of its (upcoming) support for Rocketbook (and other smart notebooks, such as Bambook and Scribzee), and the self-hosted Joplin Server, which lets me offer accounts to friends and family, and share notebooks with them.
It works perfectly, and has the added benefit of E2EE, biometric support, plus the many, many advanced features Joplin offers. There are plenty of other sync options, including file system (for use with Syncthing) and Nextcloud.
