I love the idea and technology behind YAOS and understand it's still very early, but clearly a lot of work went into making the setup process easy. That said, more detail would be really helpful.

After quite a bit of fumbling, I think I've got my desktop vault setup to sync. I got an unexpected message about vault ids (which I had recorded the message). I don't think vault ids are an Obsidian and don't know why I might have multiple within the worker. Since it's an initial sync, I've chosen to just believe it won't matter.

Now I'm trying to configure YAOS on my iOS phone. BRAT and YAOS are installed. After going to the yaos..workers.dev page via the QR code, I'm back to the page with the Create and deploy button. I thought both instances would use the same worker. I don't see anything about setting up additional sync devices. What do I do at this point?

I got it working! After copying and pasting the URL, token, and vault id displayed on my original workers.dev page into the mobile YAOS manual and advanced settings fields and then connecting to my obsidian vault with the button on (I think) the phone's open workers.dev page, it began to work. I'm able to open the same page on the Mac and iPhone and see live changes applied bidirectionally. It doesn't seem to sync folders themselves, so to delete a folder I have to do it in both places; not optimal - but overall, it's working.

Cool! I'm working on way better documentation for the setup, especially when something goes wrong.
