Re:Ask HN: Is there a note taking app you're 100% happy with? by st1x7 on Monday December 28, 2020 @01:50PM (#25561940)
- For knowledge-base organisation - Obsidian. It's a nice program and it works with markdown files with some nice features like a graph view and support for LaTeX equations. I don't need to access these notes on my phone/tablet.

- Anything else i.e. shorter form notes that I want to sync across devices and which don't require fancy formatting or organisation - Apple Notes.

Perfectly happy with both of these for their respective use cases.

Oh someone mentioned Obsidian way earlier than me?

Nice!

IMHO: Using Obsidian with the PARA system and the Johnny File System makes a lot of things neat. :) You can use the JFS also for your files and folders.

I use Obsidian as well, but funnily, the knowledge-base related features don't interest me at all.

I like it for it's well-done "90% of preview-mode inside edit-mode already" approach, and the BSP-style window separation.
