Simultaneous device use-case sync question. (self.obsidianmd)

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 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.
