I am using my laptop to take notes in class and would like to use my android based e-ink tablet for quick handwriting and diagrams. What is a good way to get the content from the tablet to my vault as quickly and smoothly as possible? First-party sync? Note files pushed through Syncthing?
You must log in or register to comment.
I’d make Two different notes and link/merge them in post
Self Hosted live sync will if you have a way to facilitate the CouchDB hosting. It’s realtime.
I do not think that sync or syncthing will be fast enough. And if you jump here and there, you can get versions conflicts. Either use different notes and later merge or purchase a BT keyboard to your tablet and use it for typing.
Using a laptop and a tablet in a class sounds a bit overengeneering.
Try Remotely Save plug-in.
https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save
It syncs with Dropbox, Onedrive, S3 and WebDav. It has lots of settings like folders you can ignore, filetypes, etc. A number of experimental fearures that have worked when I tried them. You can set it to manually or automatically sync.
I’ve used it for my main vault using a self-hosted WebDav for over a year and been pleased with its performance. I make sure I keep a regular backup of the vault as well just in case.
I would imagine you could use the Excalidraw plugin as well for making handwritten notes and diagrams, too.
