I feel obligated to mention Logseq https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/ as well as Zettlr https://www.zettlr.com/ https://www.zettlr.com/ which are both markdown editors with knowledge base and management. Incidentally, I do all of this in Emacs.

I'll have to look into all of these. Here's what I really want: A note taking app that lets me insert code cells, a la Jupyter. I'm using colaboratory right now but I'd like to explore alternatives. I've gotten to the point where I practically can't use an editor that doesn't let me run code, because that's become my second brain.

  I do that with org-mode https://orgmode.org/ https://orgmode.org/ it's integrated with Emacs and I can run code in the document as well as export to PDF for presentations for example.

  Obsidian actually supports Jupyter via a plugin, if I recall.

Yes, I'll add WikiLens [1] and Dendron [2] as VSCode extensions if you want to reuse an existing editor, or other apps like Bear [3] and Roam [4]. 1. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lostintangent.wikilens https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lostinta... 2. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dendron.dendron https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dendron.... 3. https://bear.app/ https://bear.app/ 4. https://roamresearch.com/ https://roamresearch.com/

Here's the thing: I really like Loqseq's interface (it mimic's Andy Matuschak's Evergreen notes[0]) but I really hate the fact that it doesn't let me edit plain Markdown files and write free-form text. (Looks like I'm not the only one[1].) It forces me into this weird outliner format that I personally don't like at all – and I'm saying this as someone who used org-mode for years.

  Hmm, OTOH the _only_ reason I like LogSeq is because of the outliner format. I think there are a lot of different styles out there which manifest in how different people end up using these tools. I ended up moving from Obsidian to Logseq basically just to get "native outline format", and LogSeq is in that sense an "offline, open-format version of Roam".

It really annoys me that so many of these "markdown" editors use double brackets instead of actual Markdown links.
