I created a web app to do this for me, including the ability to save the posts I created. I wanted something that would allow me to create even more than notes, and allow for HTML and CSS. I created https://mypost.io.

Officially: MyPost is your post, your content. Create beautiful web pages in minutes for free. Whether you know how to code or don't know how to code at all, MyPost is for you. The combination of HTML, BBCode, and various font icons will allow you to write professional and personal posts in no time. No experience necessary!

I shared it with the world... and people have taken a liking to it and found their own uses for it too. Completely free. If you decide to experiment.. hopefully you find a purpose for it.

Quiver (macOS) is my go-to. It works a lot like basic Evernote functionality but stores everything in readable, text files in a JSON format. You can commit them to a git repo, read them over a network, sync them with DropBox/SyncThing/etc, and so on. It's relatively cheap too @ (iirc) $10. I have no affiliation to them; I just like the product.

There's also an iOS client being worked on as well.

I use org-mode (in spacemacs), folder synchronized on some cloud, private notes GPG encrypted. For me it's more than perfect. I always find what I am looking for immediately, org-mode is useful in lots of other use cases, emacs has been around for a long time and I trust will stay for the rest of my life...

I second org-mode. Previously I was using OneNote but that is limited to Windows, and on Linux I need to be always online to use the web interface.

To add one more use case: I was thinking of creating flash cards and came across org-dribble which provides the entire functionality of creating and revising flash cards using Supermemo method.

When it comes to note-taking and organising, org-mode is an excellent choice.
