Obsidian. Great notes app with a ton of features and is free. Open source too, I think, but could be wrong on that. I usually am. But it’s all in markdown baby! I use it for my dnd world and notes.
Obsidian is nearly perfect. My biggest gripe is the link format it uses, even when using Markdown style, doesn’t use the full relative path to files, just the name of the file. So you can’t click them in say, VS Codium and have them work.
My perfect tool would be something like Obsidian but uses the GitHub Pages approach while not being tied to GitHub. (The GitHub Pages gem fails in a few ways if the repository doesn’t have a GitHub remote.)
Unless they’ve open-sourced it in the last year or so, Obsidian isn’t open source. That being said, it does have big vibes of open source. Like, there’s more to open source than simply the source code being available — it’s also about the general ethos of openness. When I was using Obsidian, I felt reassured that my notes were my own, and they would still function mostly the same if Obsidian went under. It’s a big part of why I switched to it from Notion

I just wish that obsidian would let me self host a server with their software.

Obsidian is an org-mode/org-roam wannabe
