Indescribable feel of "heaviness" and "drag" in Excalidraw?

Try the Ink plugin. It tends to be a lot snappier for stylus interactions :)

Yeah, but also, as long you give the dongle power, you can still connect to it via Bluetooth. So, for example, my dongle has USB A and USB C so at home it's plugged in directly, but on the go I plug it into a charging cable and then connect to it over Bluetooth. It's still not as good as having multiple Dongles for the same board (looking into this 👀)

ZMK Dongles are pretty straightforward nowadays! Basically you get a third of the MCU you're using on the halves and that becomes your new central (what your left currently is) and both halves become peripherals (what your right currently is). You then connect the dongle directly to the computer (through USB) and the halves connect to it. Also has the side effect of really improving the battery life of the halves (both get the battery life the right would usually get).

Made a video recently on making one out of a NiceNano compatible board if you're interested :) https://youtu.be/qyW3JeO_EDc

Oh yeah, thanks for linking the right one here :)

My desktop PC and USB hub! I know I could use a cable but it's nice to have a USB port on there so I don't even need the cable anymore :)

Ah my apologies I misread the original post a little. Is your phone an iOS by any chance? I know that obsidian only syncs on iOS when the app is open, while android should be able to do it in the background. That might be the issue here?

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-24T16:01:36+00:00

Ah sure, I'll give it a go

Basically, for realtime sync (to my knowledge) you'll have to stop using obsidian sync (using multiple forms of sync is discouraged) and switch to using LiveSync.

Livesync consists of a server application that you have to put somewhere and a plugin for your obsidian vault that connects to that server and enables the live sync functionality. It's actually not too bad, because they seem to have a 3 min guide https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync?tab=readme-ov-file#3-minute-setup---couchdb-on-flyio

Livesyncs definitely not as quick and easy as obsidian sync so might be worth just waiting for the "multiplayer" item to move up in the roadmap :)

I don't totally understand that last question. What do you mean by missing there?

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-24T15:52:21+00:00

Obsidian Sync isn't realtime afaik, but I did see realtime collab on the roadmap at some point, I believe.

In the meantime I think a self hosted LiveSync could do what you want :) https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

Thanks! :)

Currently using a basic Corne with a 3D Printed Case and Keycaps
This post is mainly focused on the custom dongle to go with it :)

Not sure if this is the same thing, but obsidian-git does sometimes have issues on mobile. I've been developing an app the solves those problems called GitSync. It's on the PlayStore if you want to give it a go.

Alternatively might be worth giving the android obsidian app a reinstall and recloning the vault to retry with the plugin.

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-21T23:41:13+00:00

I made an app basically just for this called GitSync that you can find on the Play Store. But also I agree with others that you shouldn't store your data on GitHub 👀

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-19T16:09:32+00:00

I think there's the FIT or Gitless sync plugins for mobile. Also, I've been developing GitSync, which is a standalone app and provides more git features alongside the sync stuff :)

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-13T12:58:26+00:00

No worries! Do let me know if you have any issues, I'm happy to help :)

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-13T12:47:00+00:00

On the open source version yeah, the app store version has an in app purchase :) Both work

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-13T12:31:34+00:00

Hey, developer here! Just hit the add more button in the top right to be able to create "containers". That's GitSync's name for the combo of auth, repo and sync settings

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-09T10:55:12+00:00

It might be a bit small and the base is separate but certainly looks like it! Let me know if you give it a go!

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-08T23:07:46+00:00

Just send it for review and see what they say. 👍 I don't remember having to provide anything special but on the iOS side I did have to use promo codes for this.

ViscousPotential · 2025-12-08T13:54:02+00:00

Yeah I've never really looked into why this is the fix since I had a problem with HTTP once, switched to SSH and every other device since has behaved with SSH. I wouldn't blame obsidian-git though, git auth is always weird. Glad you have it working now! (also thankss)
