From what I know, the app stores its notes in json
files that store the note itself as a string, metadata, plus styling information, like if a section is bold it stores where the bold text starts and ends. This means that while it could possibly store the content as a reference to another file rather than a string, it wouldn't be able to preserve formatting if another program edited or moved the file.
But I like this idea too, and I'd be willing to give up formatting for certain apps in order to sync them with Nextcloud. I'm not sure of a good way to make this work intuitively, though.

I'll be honest, to me, that means that if tomorrow I want to move my notes to another app, I will lose data (even if it's just formatting data). Having interoperability (even if just an export) is important to me (some random user feedback for you :))

well the notes store the app inn a standard location, but that location can be different.

in the future, I want for the app to log what that location is so that you could sync the notes (copy pasting all the files in the directory to another stick notes's saving directory will work).
but I'm not sure if this accommodate your needs, in which case sticky can be made to have a configurable storage directory.
it may also be useful to have an export/import thing but that seems not very useful for me at the moment (e.g would it export markdown or the raw JSON) so if you have a use case please tell me.

On the latest sticky notes, the app will log where it stores the notes (may vary based on flatpak, distro etc) and you can use that folder to sync notes. I will be closing this soon as solved if there's no further comment.

Sounds great, thanks!
