Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If a note, for example with a checklist, is changed on two devices at the same time, this always leads to a conflict.

Describe the solution you'd like
For my understanding, the merge mechanism #56 would have to look more closely at what has changed when and where in the file in order to be able to merge different changes on different devices in a meaningful way. Perhaps the document can be compared line by line and the latest version of the line is kept. If A has changed something in line 1, it is newer than line 1 of B. If B has changed line 2, it is newer than line 2 of A.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can well imagine that it is difficult to implement such a comparison with Markdown. Perhaps a separate app would have to be created for this (simultaneous and possibly offline editing of a document).
