Recently stumbled upon this note-taking app called SiYuan, but it honestly looks a bit too good to be true(?). Has anyone here used it or got any experience with it? Trying to replace Obsidian is a difficult task, and I've been through almost all note-taking apps there are out there, however this one looks fairly similar.

I'm using syncthing, but I think I recall the sort of issue you mention. Android locks down cross-app access quite hard, but if you move the files to your SD card (or tge emulated one if you don't have one) it acts as shared storage and your sync program and obsidian can both read and write to it. On my device, the path is /storage/emulated/0/Documents/<whatever>

DUDE. I had it on the SD card but in the other /storage/0000-0000/android/media path. Just changed it to the one you suggested and it's working now. Thank you so much. I've been looking for an answer to that on and off for like 2 months
