I have been making notes for a decade now. I have moved through plain txt files, no extension (linux style) txt files, CherryTree, SimpleNotes, LogSeq, Notion, GitHub Pages, Obsidian and may be more.
I have moved through phases of putting notes in physical notebook and scanning. I have 10s of scanned notebooks.
I have taken digital notes via stylus, via wacom pen and tablet, Samsung notes (best note taking app with stylus), a bunch of linux apps (xournal, xournal++ etc) and more...
I have written notes in pure html.
I have written personal app for taking notes in browser and storing it in postgres.
There is nothing better than text + git. Markdown is second.
My current configuration is: text/markdown + git + vs code + (plain) obsidian + plantuml + mermaid + local-git-server/github/gitlab etc.
