After GitHub.dev was released (hit “.” on any GitHub repo, to open it in browser-based VS Code), I immediately saw the notetaking workflow that I wanted: a GitHub repo, storing markdown that I can own/control, but editable in the browser, using my existing VS Code preferences (theme, keybindings, etc.). Unfortunately, VS Code doesn’t natively support wiki links, so I created an extension that simply adds that feature…
If it has already integrated git, why not support syncing through the VCS instead of third party like Dropbox or iCloud? Is there any note taking app that automatically syncs changes with a remote repository, so I can simply provide credentials to a hosted git instance and it does everything out of the box?
It's not quite out of the box, but installing community plugins is very easy through the settings UI.

Moving off Apple's ecosystem. Their definition of privacy/surveillance falls short of "human rights" level privacy and only protects against advertisers and hackers.
+1. As sweet as their hardware and ecosystem is, an open ecosystem is better for users. I'd move off if I could get most of what I enjoy within Apple ecosystem.
Something open that beats Apple's ecosystem doesn't yet exist today. But you can help it get there by being a customer and telling companies what you want. Re-creating an E2E iCloud suite doesn't seem impossible. For example Standard Notes is close to beating Notes - but it's still too complicated but with focused work on the UI it could win.

Haven’t seen Craft mentioned here but amongst almost all of the other already mentioned apps, Craft feels to me like it’s got the whole pack. Native apps, cloud sync that works, option for iCloud sync or offline storage, blocks that turn into pages, multi platform, Markdown, etc.
https://www.craft.do/ I assume you're referring to this, took a bit of googling.
I've jumped between note-taking Apps, Evernote, Bear, Typora, Notion, Obsidian, ..., you name it. Finally settled down with Obsidian as I can manage note files directly such as using Syncthing for backing up and syncing. This one does seem interesting and possible to integrate into my workflow, gotta give it a try.
How do you handle sync to mobile with Syncthing? Obs mobile only supports iCloud and their own sync service.
I will pay $100 a year for an iOS-like Notes replacement, de-Appled with these criteria: 1. Secure - E2E encrypted on cloud storage, vendor cannot read it 2. Accessible - standalone native app on desktop and mobile on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android) 3. Simple - love how Apple doesn't even make you "title" notes, it just takes the first line 4. Shareable - with others with editing privs eg a grocery l…

I went through the same process and got stuck on GoodNotes on the iPad. Once I got used to using the Pencil for sketching, marking up other documents, and handwriting notes (when that makes sense), I was hooked. Obsidian is pretty cool and is progressing rapidly. If their iPad client gets Pencil support then I will probably end up there as well.
Same for me. Surprising that Obsidian doesn’t support native pencil option. I tried with excalidraw plug-in and it’s not sleek.
The app was only just released. I hope that it is coming.

You should look seriously at FSNotes, it’s got all your needs met I believe (have fun with standard notes- I found them very disappointing)

Out of curiosity, why not just use Notes? (I’m aware there are legit reasons, but I’m curious about your scenario.)
