I use Joplin[0], mostly because it's the only thing I've found that has a client that works offline on Linux. (There's also TagSpaces, but the UI never really clicked with me).
I've often wished to have a "graph" feature where notes could be linked together, and you could see some kind of cluster, or maybe do queries based on number of edges from something. Stuff like that.
