I agree, but I also know that there are many people with an eye of design and there are other alternatives.
But Markor is my favorite app, especially because it can edit .md files from the filesystem (kinda like Obsidian for mobile but FOSS)
Markor - A markdown/text editor app. It is frankly not the best in terms of design, but it does have quite a few neat features.
Just wish that firefox Android supports “right clicking” extensions, though.
Right now, extensions that use the right-click context menu to function (e.g. Singlefile) doesn’t work that well on Android.
I’ve also found another client for Android: syncthing tray, which seems to come from a popular client for desktop but it also supports Android.

Personally, I find it a good replacement, though its gui is slightly slower and it does not support all the features that syncthing-fork has.
That’s not as low as you’d think, to be fair. I’ve tried to run Kubuntu on a 10 year old laptop with 2 GiB RAM and it worked, if only a little laggy. That being said, it crashes after half an hour without swap. But with swap, it is legitimately daily drivable (as long as you don’t run heavy apps, of course).
I’d imagine a distro that’s designed to be even more lightweight would be able to handle that.
