Be objective to Syncthing :) Working solution exists on iOS

In the guide here https://github.com/CharlesChiuGit/Logseq-Git-Sync-101#why-use-git--github-to-sync-logseq-graph it mentions that syncthing is not available on iOS, but that is not true - I've been using https://www.mobiussync.com/ to sync iOS and PC, and I'm pretty happy with it.

For iOS, there are several advantages over Working Copy:

• cheaper price: €6 vs €25 for Working Copy
• simpler sync: Möbius Sync syncs by default in the background (which is limited in iOS to be fair), so if I need an explicit sync, I just open the app and that's it. On Working Copy I need several taps to pull commits
• simpler setup: pretty straightforward, create & share a folder on one device, accept on iOS
  • also don't need to worry about git commits changing files. I've had an issue between Linux / Windows machines where newlines would be changes every time

Disadvantages of Möbius Sync:

• both devices need to be on to sync, so can't sync on the go if the PC is not turned on at home

Setup on iOS:

• syncing Logseq with Möbius Sync is the same as any other folder, really. https://www.mobiussync.com/faq/ -> Initial setup recommends setting up & sharing folder on the PC first.
  • then, you accept that folder on iOS.
  • however, because Logseq is not a regular folder on iOS but an "app sandbox", you'll need to sync a folder not in Möbius Sync's folder but go up a level, and select a folder for your graph within Logseq's "app" folder (see https://github.com/MobiusSync/MobiusSync/discussions/102#discussioncomment-6599444 & https://www.mobiussync.com/faq/ > Syncing files in other apps' sandboxes (see video below)

Overall I'm happy with syncthing, I've been using this setup with no issues for several months. Möbius Sync keeps backups of the synced files as well, so even if there's file conflicts, you can recover easily

Wow! I didn't know this app exists! Thanks for letting me know. I will make a note below the graph and link it to this issue when I got time, thanks again.

btw, u can set up git hooks or git config to avoid Linux/Windows newline issues. :)

Thanks! I know you can set up git hooks, but it's yet another thing to configure. And 1 less thing to worry about with syncthing :)
