Does anyone have a system they would recommend for organizing physical notes that backs them up in the cloud?

I take a lot of notes the old fashioned way because I find it helps my retention, but they can pile up fast when I'm particularly busy.

I use syncthing across various devices and organize a group of folders with markdown files in them, then view / edit them with a markdown editor.

Super simple, free, and the best note system I've used so far.

I directly take notes online. See here: learnook.surge.sh

Then in the chapter 2019.

I have used the Things 3 app on ios because it lets me organize notes by area/projects.

For notes on books, I still take those on paper
