I do something similar with https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ and there I have everything in my own repo in github Not sure how a 9 euro monthly subscription is justified in comparison particularly since I can use vscode as a power user

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. On the page you linked, the github link doesn't take me to the repo, just to a generic github page; you might see an increase in users if it did!

It’s hard to tell exactly how the horizontal note taking and linking work, but it does remind me a bit of Gingko [1] which works as a nested outline style note taker. I think having nested lists is a “natural” way to organize your thoughts.

Can you embed websites[1] inside Foam?

I've been using my CatWiki[1] for making notes since 2016 and find it quite easy to use. It stores notes as Markdown files on a local hard disk. [1]: https://github.com/cabalamat/catwiki

Obsidian[1] uses a similar approach.

I’m working on Bangle[1] which is similar that saves notes locally in Markdown but provides a nice notion like UI.
