At this point I just need a markdown editor for my phone and syncthing to move everything back and forth.

I do this with "Markor", great notes app for txt and md files. All files locally and synced via Syncthing. Been using this for years, love it.

I gotta try Markor. Been using Zettel Notes as a frontend to Obsidian/syncthing because they have postit widgets, and I need 4 on my home screen

Widget-wise Markor falls short unfortunately, only a general widget and one for todos, not for individual notes, I'm afraid...

Joplin works really well for me. Was syncing via nextcloud for a long time but syncthing is way easier to manage and more bulletproof as long as you configure it correctly
