- Nextcloud Notes sync is via the REST API, not WebDAV, which makes it snappy

- Notes are constantly saved
- Large note collections are partially loaded to quicken startup
- Notes are stored in SQLite, providing for fast search (FTS) without reinventing the wheel. Plain files can be retrieved by making a backup (CLI).
