Thanks for the kind words. Sync is definitely something I'm considering, but I can't promise any timelines.

Hi and thank you for the complement.

It's all home-grown solution. Sync was definitely hard but it was one of my top priorities from the very beginning. Though it definitely still needs a bit of an improvement but it's working beautifully at the moment.

Thanks for your feedback, sync is in progress ;)

Will you be adding syncing soon?

Thanks, working on sync.

If you could send in any feedback you have on the sync features, that would help a lot! :D

FWIW I've passed this note along to our sync team but I don't have a ton of insight here.

Was just about to ask about the syncing. Nice job, it's fun! And thanks for this comment.

Thank you for the reply. Very useful to know. I never got to try out sync.

That looks pretty neat! Sadly it's missing a bigger requirement for me, which is syncing. Thanks, though.

Though this was true for many years, there is now a team dedicated to sync development. (But there's a big backlog for them to work through!)

Interesting you mentioned that the sync took a lot of work. Would love to know how you did it and some pointers. A writeup or a blog post perhaps?

eykd | karma 66 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2020-05-14 14:02:24+00:00

Syncing is such a hard problem. How are you approaching it?

So in a way, this is the one sync to rule them all :) looks like a step in the right direction. great job, keep it up.

Congratulations! I think sync is much easier when it's done up front rather than bolted on later.

I'm wondering if sync might have stalled the Momento guys - they had big plans for Android and iPad versions but haven't brought anything out besides small fixes in over a year. (Disclosure: I'm in the iOS diary space too).

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and clarify "sync" wording in the future.

Synching -> Syncing

gschier | karma 1076 | avg karma 3.78 · | 2016-09-06 06:58:37+00:00

Sync is coming for Insomnia in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that. Also, be sure to reach out and let me know what you think could be improved :)

pantulis | karma 2000 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2021-09-03 16:48:43

Also, rolling your own sync is basically a must on multiplatform, I'd say.
