    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.

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

          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.
