It would be nice to have a small tools approach to note taking.
Small tools for searching and discovery. Another small tool for editing that uses another small tool to manage and lint any linking.
The use of hashtags in Bear is great, but it’s tied to its own filesystem.
Notable’s live editor is the best, with a great focus mode, but it’s tied to a single directory of notes where, in the case of macOS, titles with colons get mangled because the filesystem can’t cope with titles == filenames. It also stopped being open source without being bug free. I can’t fix bugs in it myself.
Atom has a lovely focus mode but no built in way of organising notes (left side columns) like Bear and Notable have.
And they all default to markdown instead of the functionally superior asciidoc. Markdown is fine up until you have material you wish to format with any kind of seriousness. Or to boil it down another way: Asciidoc has table width hints and markdown don’t.
I do love, at least, the level of choice we have these days.
