For note apps I can recommend:
i use and love notally but you can't share/sync (export/import wouldn't satisfy the above requirement)
I was using Joplin for a while... Self hosted their server. On two occasions it screwed up on me and wouldn't load my folders... Luckily I had backups but it was still frustrating. I don't recommend them purely because the notes are stored in a custom format instead of just plain text files.
My favorite way of doing notes now is with git, currently using a free private repo on gitlab.
Just clone the repo on whatever PC I need them and it has backups and version control.
Then use GitJournal on my phone.
It's perfect for me. I love it.
I also found a fork called NotallyX, which includes import functions from Keep and Evernote. Pretty useful for someone migrating.
also is a nice addition but i like the fact that notally is just 1.9mb. So i keep using notally and delete a dozen backups from time to time :/
yeah, just looking through the notes, it looks like both devs care a lot about their project and just have different visions for what a "Complete" notes app should look like. It's nice to see, because sometimes when you see a fork of a project it's because someone abandoned it or there is some kind of community drama, but that doesn't seem to be the case afaik.
