It keeps my data in plain text files, integrates well with git and simply does the most things I always wanted a note taking application to do, when compared with anything else I have tried so far.
Yes, I would be happier with an open source application, but the first two are hard requirements for me, which already removes the majority of the alternatives.
On the other hand, I will never understand why anyone would use brave, given how shady the thing is.
Does support internal links, md rendering and a useful search over all files without having to configure everything for three weeks? Because those features were what made me switch after a few years of just using vim.
Also having dynamic todo boxes on my daily notes, collected from all my ~1k notes.
Those are actual questions, not sarcasm, btw. I have never used nvim. I was under the impression it was more or less just vim.
It doesn’t quite fit your requirements, but org mode from emacs is very close.
.org files instead of .md, and the preview does require a bit of config, but it’s not as bad as some make it be, especially if you pickup a preconfigured emacs “distro” (like doom emacs for example) in which case I think it’s just a feature flag to set to on.
Org is also very appreciated for it’s TODO features, which you seem to make a big use of.
It probably isn’t a match for you due to the markdown requirement, but I’m mentioning it just in case you didn’t consider it in the past.
Thanks for the recommendation. I knew org-mode exists, but I’ve only ever used emacs for proof-assistants which have no other ide-support. I guess I should at least give it a try.
Probably because it is all portable and in markdown, the devs are widely available and it is open enough that community, open source plugins can be easily made which allow you to make custom workflows that simply aren’t available in any alternatives.
Linking is significantly easier and better than any alternative I have tried which significantly lowers the effort of documentation which is the largest hurdle for most people. As all social media shit apps have taught us, ultra low-effort beginning of a habit is the key to consistent use.
And if the dev enshittifies, all of your notes are safe in plaintext markdown and not a proprietary format and can be imported and cleaned up in your choice of new editor and fix the linking.
Surprised privacy conscious people are so pro obsidian when it’s not even source available

Just use nVIM

Emacs supports whatever you want and more with org-mode. It’s an upfront investment but you can use your config until you die.
