Thank you, have searched for things like Standard Notes before but without success. That is why I participate in HN, many times it works better than a search engine, you just need to wait for the right topic to appear in the first page.
Indeed, one of the most important points is the Q&A in the FAQ: "Has Standard Notes completed a third-party security audit?" (Spoiler: yes, it did).
I like standard notes but having only plain text with no ability to attach images makes it unsuitable for me. I often take screen shots or photos as a note.
This is why I use markdown. If I need an image, I can add a quick <img> tag with a base64 encoded image.
To keep legibility, I always add the images at the bottom and reference them from the text.
I don't understand how that works. Can you give some more details?
All these people using markdown with images are self hosting the images.

Another vote for Standard Notes. By far the best for my use case.
MS OneNote is great however they have stopped updating their desktop application (which allows offline notes) in favor of putting everything in the cloud (which will require a subscription to yet another cloud service if you exceed the OneDrive limits.)
