They understand why I am passionate about selfhosting and privacy but they still have a reasonable expectation that things just work.

That's somewhat where my head is at too at the moment. I do want to go the privacy route but I do also want something where it can "just work" (hence why I'm looking closely at third party solutions like entee and filen or proton drive). I do care about privacy, but having all the creature comforts that companies like Google has provided is still a bit difficult to let go.

Sync will stop once I close the app.

This is an iOS limitation, so no going around that unfortunately.

Yeah I’ve had similar experiences with Microsoft switching my currency out of nowhere and it was weird…

Recently been using Brave Search but in general I feel like there just aren’t any good search engines anymore?

It’s wild because Bing is generally quite good now, but I switched away from it recently because it kept trying to advertise edge…

Meanwhile edge tries to advertise “pay later” schemes and really gets in your face about bing…

Yeah Flutter seems like the winner for my Project. I think the fact that I've worked with it in the past, and that it feels very react-y in some ways just makes it a lot nicer for me.

Plus... Hot Reload was a godsend haha

I'll be sure to give it a try!

What other frameworks are you referring to and what would they be more well suited to?

Thanks!

Yeah I've looked through the website and it seems pretty good. I think being able to use it with vanilla React is really appealing to me, especially because (if I'm not mistaken) I can use any normal library I'm familiar with (such as tailwind)?
