What issues did you have? I have updated recently and didnt notice any problems so far. Also do you have any suggestion for alternatives? For me personally silverbullet is great for desktop usage, not so much on mobile though.
I am not thinking of the most recent versions.
The query system was updated, around version 0.6 if i remember correctly. I don't think the updates were bad, but some things broke and I am too old for "bleeding edge". The template system was also updated at some point
I don't have a great solution. I use syncthing to keep notes local on all devices and MarkText on desktop and Zettel Notes on android.
what i really liked about silverbullet was that it had offline support. but there were made some changes there as well along the way, and for me it became less stable after it became optional. But I haven't actively used it for some time. I still got an instance running tho
What mobile issues do you have? I use it both on desktop and mobile with sync mode turned on in the PWA.
I don't really have any issue for what the software is supposed to do. I can access my instance, read and edit, templates and queries work fine.
But overall the user experience is not so good on mobile. On desktop it is really easy to navigate my notes, specially so because of the great support for keyboard shortcuts. Now for mobile it doesnt feel too good. Navigation works but the interface is too small - making tapping a bit clunky. I also find it uncomfortable to use for to do lists - things like groceries lists that I need on the go. Sometimes toggling works fine if touch but sometimes it switches to view mode.
I really dont think any of that is an issue with the software itself. Its just the format I guess? I still use silverbullet and Ive never tried anything as good for organizing work stuff. But I still wish something more "native" for android.
