Description

Could you please add a custom sync option that supports WebDAV, S3, or a self-hosted server?

The built-in sync of Simplenote has been unstable for nearly a year and often fails to sync. Sometimes I can’t even log in again after restarting the app, which seems to be a server-side issue.

I’m in China, and I wonder if this is related to my region.

A self-hosted solution would completely solve the sync problem. I really hope this feature can be added.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the existing built-in sync and authentication flows, then determine the scope for supporting WebDAV, S3, or a self-hosted server; done would require a defined, working custom sync option and tests for its behavior.
