A home-server study setup is running into sync problems
The setup is for computer science study material that is spread across PowerPoint files, handwritten notes, professor-made websites, and other formats. The devices include a PC that boots into both Windows 10 and an Arch Linux setup called Monarchy, an iPad using GoodNotes, and a MacBook. Most material is currently copied back into handwritten notes before being used for exercises, which takes time and does not work well.
Outline was installed on a a week ago, with and used to make it reachable from outside the home network. Monarchy is used as a focused place for programming and working through course material. The main problem is that syncing between the MacBook, Windows, and Monarchy is not working smoothly.
Git was tried as a way to handle the sync, but it did not fit the . Environment changes are handled with nvim and IntelliJ.
