I wish to de-google but this one is probably the one I know least how to replace.

I need one-click access to my notes, with an easy search that works just as well from my firefox browser as from my android home page.

I must always be able to just close the page/device and never worry that the stuff I put in was saved.

Should be able to insert inline images and markdown ? Is there a "markdown with images" yet ? Like "sixels" I think they're called ?

I would like to be able to open my notes as a notepad++ session, but I understand that's starting to be a lot to ask.

I would like my notes to be a syncthing shared folder? I really like the ideas that the notes are actual names files somewhere, that I can just edit with a regular text editor.

I self host a couchdb container and use a Cloudflare tunnel to forward it to a subdomain. I then use the self hosted live sync plugin in Obsidian and it is perfect. So much better than so many of the other options like Joplin and Memos (tried both and wasn’t a fan). It works perfectly on the desktop app, iOS, and android.

How do you store your notes in CouchDB? There's a plugin for that?

The plugin does everything for you! https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync
