Note-taking software,Novel ideas

Can you use a software that anchors a note-taking program to a certain repository for synchronization.Most note synchronization services are paid,but repository is free.git needs to handle conflicts manually.Would you be interested in an open-source and free synchronization service provided by a code repository? If a strict synchronization method is used.

    Don't most note-taking software products already sync to multiple devices? I'm unclear what new idea you are trying to add in?

    If you are suggesting that putting a git repo behind it would be an improvement, I'd question that. git is line-based, most freeform notes are sentence or paragraph based. In coding, line length is part of the UX of working in the code, so git works great. Not true for note-taking, where the line length of the data storage is not necessarily tied to the UX of working in the notes.

    So I guess the answer is a solid "No" from me. I don't want to risk deteriorating my UX just to solve what is really a back-end data storage concern that I, as the user, should not have to give a crap about, and which doesn't seem to be broken in any meaningful way.
