I love Org mode but the fact that relies on emacs can push some people from using it. I've been using lately [logseq](https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/) and it's fantastic. Has the features I love from Org mode, plus what I like from Workflowy, stores the data in plain text in Markdown and supports cross references, images, and more. I love it.
