I think any new plain-text based tool needs a comprehensive section (and support the workflow) on how to synchronize across devices using git or syncthing.
I tried noteKit and zettlr and so many more and I am willing to give this one a try, but I am always hesitant to reverse-engineer the file-structure and create autocommit/push/pull/etc. scripts to handle all the syncing across my work devices.
As a proof of concept I once created a "personal log" (where you could just put a few lines of what you're currently doing and why and for whome) and it was basically a git-wrapper where empty commits were created and all the data was in the commit message. A simple sync-command then pull-rebased and pushed everything.
Of course, the append-only nature of this model made synchronization incredibly easy.
I just wish that distributed workflow was more of a consideration for authors of personal organization tooling.
Edit: of course, also plain-text accounting, for example. The plain-text nature brings a lot of possibilities that are rarely used to the fullest.
