Just use obsidian and the github repo addon so all your notes are not only backed up in a private repo but also with Git revision. Edit: reading your requirements I’m sure above satisfy them except probably ‘programming notebook’, unless there’s an obsidian addon for that.

Great idea! After a quick search, there's some plugins[0][1] that could work for my use case! [0] https://github.com/twibiral/obsidian-execute-code [1] https://github.com/tillahoffmann/obsidian-jupyter

Awesome, glad to help, and thanks for sharing those addons, didn’t know about them!

Obsidian with plugins!!!! You can create some very powerful workflows with dataviewer, properties and templates. Whatever note taking style you want really, automatically moving them to folders, etc. I highly recommend using unique notes with tags to start with, you can reorganize it as you need. I have #snippets for code snippets, #walkthrough, #todo. Theres plugins to automatically move these to folders if you want…

Great to know, I always read that people dislike Obsidian for being closed-source. It's also not self-hosted by default, but seems possible with a sync plugin. Thanks, I will look into it!

Yeah the client is unfortunately closed source.

The only reason I'm okay with that is that it's a client side application that works with markdown, and their schema for "canvas" is opensource.

I've been very happy with the git plugin for syncing personally, I know many people recommend syncthing. I think there's some obstacles for iphone support specifically although I don't use it on mobile.
