Joplin alternative? (feddit.it)

I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser... Which is not supported.

Are there good alternatives that are:

fully open source
have android client
have web client or viewer
can be synched VOA WebDAV or native method

I can also settle for a Joplin web viewer of sorts!

UPDATE: i opened up a can of worms. I would have never tought there would be so many tools for this task, and so many different shades of how it can be done. Even excluding ALL the non-truly-FOSS solutions out there, there are still tons of tools with good points and bad points. Of course, NONE fits my bill so i will spin mine… Joking, i have no time for that. I see two ways forward: write a simple web viewer for the Joplin MD stored files (which are not plain-readable, not MD but JSON) OR try silverbullet.md which looks the most promising to me

i might end up with n.1 if i find a bit of free time.

Thank you all, and to anybody still chiming in!

I do use Obsidian and you can use what you want to sync between devices by activating plugins. I’ve used many différent notetaking app and Obsidian make my day! https://obsidian.md

I moved from Joplin to Obsidian and am very happy with the move, but it's not FOSS
