The notes side of it works well, and has enough markdown features to allow me to transfer all my GDrive notes to it.
Like others have mentioned, I get tired when apps and sites go unsupported or have shitty (if any) export features.
pros:
* open source
* stored as a bunch of linked text files
* can version control with git
* wysiwyg markdown(media-wiki syntax) editor
A lot of the stuff out there suffers from feature bloat and too much complexity.
I like Taskade because it's light weight and fast, and it's great for teams.
It allows you to very quickly do a full text search, it saves the files as plain text, it supports external editors (I use MacVim) and it syncs with simplenote.com so I can see my notes on NV on my various macs and the simplenote app on my phone. It's very minimal and I like it a lot.
plain text files and your favorite editor, whatever that is. things that should be encrypted are either gpg encrytped or put in my password manager. Bonus if you format your plain text with markdown or asciidoc or whatever your fav. plain text markup language is. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Put it in a VCS for super double bonus points :) me personally: Vim, asciidoc and in a fossil repo.
Same here. Vim, Markdown, and GitHub. I can easily sync between my laptop, work computer, and desktop via git.
I've given up on using any sort of branded app for notetaking. At best it's open source and the maintainers will lose interest in a few years. When you write things down, you're investing in your future. It's silly to use software that isn't making that same investment. After trying Evernote, Workflowy, Notion, wikis, org-mode, and essentially everything else I could find, I gave up and tried building my own system f…
Edit:
Specifically, the incremental reading feature and annotated notes. Essentially you can add an article like it's a flashcard, and then it'll schedule it for reviews, and you can even review your notes. If you need something specific, you can search for the note itself.

One example is jrnl[1]. Each journal (collection of entries) is written in a flat text file. You can optionally encrypt it with AES. They even give you reference code on how you could decrypt it yourself[2].
If jrnl stops being a thing, I can probably re-implement all of its functionality in a day. Or someone else can. Its output is very simple.
