try acreom, free e2ee sync that works out of the box with a local-first setup.

Joplin is great try it. I self host mine, it syncs between devices, encrypted notes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I use Apple Notes and don’t bother to organize anything unless it’s a whole bunch of related material that I’m going to use together—notes for an rpg session, say. All the rest, I just make sure that I give it a title that I’ll recognize when I see it, and include words that I’ll likely use if I go looking for it with search. Been doing this for years, haven’t lost anything yet. It works so well that time organizing…

i've been doing the exactly same thing. Some risk is the data safety - years of log is attached to the icloud account is concerning.

There exist programs to export them to markdown or what have you. Dunno how well they handle embedded media. I do a lot of copy-pasting screenshots or embedding PDF pages… or entire pdfs.

[edit] “why screenshots?”

1) To record gui workflows, walkthrough-style.

2) to record whole screens of values from guis while preserving formatting perfectly (think: cloud dashboard vital stats screens for various resources)

3) to record short message exchanges from ephemeral messaging with all the formatting intact with zero extra effort. (Think: feature discussion in a periodically-cleaned chat channel; I can always turn it into text later if I need to, recording with screenshot is fast)

4) plus now that it’s almost as easy and reliable to copy-paste from images as from regular text, on macOS and iOS, why not?

What about using Visual Studio Code with your notes in multiple Markdown files with automatic syncing to Google Drive via the desktop Google Drive app? Searching multiple files, editing and organising files is quick and simple on desktop, and you can fallback to Google Doc on mobile when needed (Google Drive app lets you view .md files, there's no way to edit?). You can install extensions as well (like for doing inli…

If you don't need to sync with mobile, then adding your `notes` directory to IDE projects is a great solution. I've been doing that for a long time.

Eventually I switched to Obsidian for mobile support (syncing with free 'Remotely Save' plugin using S3). There are 2 other features of Obsidian that I came to appreciate over time:

1. Daily Notes

2. Calendar via Full Calendar plugin that uses your daily notes as one of event sources. So I can freely mix my Google Calendar 'official' meetings with my personal timeslot allocations for current day.

It is possible to have both of this features in IDE too, but with Obsidian they come for free.

This is the second piece of content I've ever seen using the same numbering system as Wittgenstein's Tractatus, the first of course being the Tractatus itself.

Can't wait for the followup, Knowledgebase Investigations in which he realizes that he has derived no use from his knowledgebase. Water!

What didn’t work for you with OneNote? It supports AES encryption and inter-page linking.

I had a revelation that my ideas are worthless and the notes I took are also going to be worthless once I get familiar with X. So I completely stopped taking notes. A to-do list plus a Google Drive for my son and our stuffs are good enough. The only problem is that we are not comfortable to put sensitive information on GD so probably build a NAS for that.

My notes are either:

* Some information that I don't trust myself to remember

* A canvas to refine my own ideas

* Summary of others' works.

Now it's easier for me to connect dots across works, themes and disciplines. That works wonder for compression of knowledge inside my brain.
