Honestly Apple Notes works really well. It doesn't have much features, but its simplicity should be the baseline of any note taking app
I recently switched to Apple Notes for the ecosystem experience. I like it. That said, it *absolutely boggles my mind that there is no Markdown support*.
Shameless plug but for the past 2 years we have slowly been working to replace Evernote with Notesnook [1]. Sounds weird to say "replace Evernote" when Evernote is absolute shit (no offense) but one of the main reasons we went this route is because Evernote did one thing right: It made personal note taking approachable & actually fun. Nowadays, a lot of the modern note taking apps (Notion, Slite etc.) are focused on…
Do you guys optimize for local-first? Can I drop in to start editing without having to wait for network lag or sync? Is multi-device syncing rock solid? Can I add pictures and links to other entries? Can I import my existing Evernote notes? If I wanted a team workflow, I'd use Google Docs and Notion. This is for just personal note and knowledge base I can tap into quickly via my phone.
Yep. Everything is offline-first stored right on your device. Syncing works mostly well but there a few rough edges which we are sorting out.

Yes. We have an official importer: https://importer.notesnook.com/

The one feature I loved in Evernote (when I was using it as a paid customer a few years ago) was that I could upload a pdf and it would be indexed for search. I ended up using Evernote as an extensive pdf library with very rapid search of all my pdfs. Does notesnook offer anything like that?
No, and the main deterrent for this is our commitment to keeping everything E2E and client-side. Something like Tessaract or Paddle might work for OCR but I haven't looked too deeply into it.

GPLv3, needs(?) an account, has a paid version but I'm not sure what extra features it gets. Can write notes offline and sync later when online. On Play Store but not F-Droid. Download button from an Android web browser sends you to the Play Store, but if you choose "all platforms" and scroll down to Android, there are .apk downloads. Dug deeper and I see paying gets you more storage for things like attachments. I wo…
We are working on open sourcing the sync server so it can be hosted later on.
F-Droid is also coming.

Is it Electron-based?

It's general notes. Some of them are TODOs, sometimes screenshots with notes, few with basic tables. Nothing extraordinary. I absolutely hate Onenote due to how it looks and forcing you to place a note on your note page to make a note :D
To be honest, it's the best feature of Onenote is that you can arrange everything on the page (at least on desktop - win/mac) any way you want. Yes, note is kinda a note in a note, when the latter is a page.
Evernote was the first note taking app I ever used. It was simple and effective. It turned into an unusable monstrosity at some point.

I paid for Evernote when it had the silver/mid tier, and it was about $35/yr. Then they got rid of that tier, and now it's $80/yr. for Personal. So I switched over to Joplin[1]. -- [1] https://joplinapp.org/
If you ask, there's still a $35 / year tier called Evernote Plus. I'm on it and that feels like a fair price however I'm not going to be renewing. I've been meaning to get off it ever since the Windows client turned into a slow, bloated mess and this year I'll probably finally do it.

In what format does this store the notes?
