is simultaneous collaborative editing a real need though? I’d say org notes are usually edited by a single person, often from multiple devices, unless you are trying to create a Google Docs competitor, I don’t think that’s a feature that is actually needed.
git also has the advantage of complete history and easy rollbacks.
I’ve given up using Orgzly because the syncing is atrocious, it has restored deleted notes multiple times. I’m now using Organice with gitlab backend and it works very well.
I do collaborate on org notes with a partner! I agree with you that true simultaneous editing is unnecessary, but it’d be nice if the app flagged that someone else is currently editing the notes and locked them until the other person is done.
For what it’s worth, I collaborate with 1 other person, and for me it’d be sufficient if you simply alerted the user that someone else is currently editing the notes, locking them until the other user is done. What’s a much bigger problem is if someone edits the notes offline tries to sync them later!
As far as I know, git can’t be used for real-time synchronization and simultaneous collaborative editing. But I’ll give it some thought

I need to think about it. The server functionality is also needed to share notes, although it may be possible to combine it with git storage as well
